DEEP red color, almost black and non-see-through. Big fruit forward nose, jammy dark ripe fruits, with hints of blood orange and violet peppered in. A big fruit palate with hints of graphite, vanilla and wood, with tight tannins that hang on and don’t let you forget, with a lithe, tight acidity that shows that it still needs some time to reach its peak, despite the pedigree. This is a prime example of modern Napa cab, dry but fruity, but bombs, American as hell, distinctive and brash, and not ready to play on the big stage, but lots of potential. — 12 hours ago

The nose shows black cherry, cassis, sandalwood, baking spices, and just hint of green bell pepper. Ripe and juicy on the palate leaning towards a bit jammy, but there is sufficient acidic lift. Silky tannins. Long candied finishes.
I really like The Prisoner wines, and this is no exception. Have a good 8-10 years ahead. — a month ago

Like this better than some more expensive bottles that taste like they contain granulated sugar! Nice bottle. Not much time on the palate, but OK, I will drink faster! — 2 months ago

Lemon and oak in balance, so best of California style (though not clean and fresh as you find in French style). At 5+ years old, will continue to age well though fine for drinking now. February 2025. — 19 days ago

Blend of mostly Zinfandel with a nice splash of Petite Sirah, deep Ruby color with aromas of ripe berry fruits and sweet spice. On the palate flavors of blackberry and plum with notes of licorice, herbs and pepper spice. Fine tannins, long finish ending with fruit, spice and tobacco notes. Nice! — 2 months ago
