The Prisoner Wine Company
The Prisoner Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
This is a blend, nothing less from Prisoner: Cab with Merlot, Syrah, Malbec, Petite Sirah and splash of Charbono, aged for 15 months in French and American oak (55% new). Deep Ruby with aromas of dark berry fruits, cedar and sweet spice. On the palate flavors of black cherry and blackberry with notes of vanilla, oak and cinnamon. Fine tannins, long finish, lively acidity, nice mouthfeel ending with fruit and spice. Nice!

I absolutely love this cabernet sauvignon by The Prisoner Wine Company. This is the 2019 and it is fabulous. I want a case of this for my cellar. Gentle bouquet of violets and daisies. Wonderfully smooth dark berries on the beginning rounded out with chocolate and licorice. The finish is very buttery and dry. Then comes the oaky polish on the ending.

Dark berries, peppery, tannic. Great all-purpose red for cold weather. Give it an hour.

You know how they say: “certain bottles speak to you?” Well, this one just did, for metaphorical reasons, of course… Like a message in a bottle! Unto reality this is a very approachable, balanced, slight fruity, tannic, Napa Cab with signature acidity and a long finish. Better than expected, and sum. Cheers.
