The Prisoner Wine Company

The Prisoner Napa Valley Zinfandel Blend

A good wine. Oak, a bit of chocolate, dark fruit and cherry. Pretty dry but smooth enough that easy to drink. — 2 months ago

Orin Swift Cellars

Abstract Grenache Blend 2022

2022. Dark opaque purple. Rich cherry berry flavors with medium-low tannins, but enough to pair well with a pan-seared steak and crispy local oyster mushrooms. — 10 days ago

Château La Tour-Martillac

Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend 1975

Birth year wine.
"Looks like a tricky one"... if I had a dollar for every time I heard that.
This is Chateau Latour Martillac, Graves, 1975.
This wine is slightly over the hill, but has survived 50 years. Just like me.
I'm assuming this is Cabernet, Merlot, and maybe something else. Fine, pale brick color. The nose is lively and generous with fruit, though there is a bit of grandma's basement.
The palette is driven by tertiary flavors. Mushroom, truffle, wet leaves, and pencil tend to drown out a bit of dark cherry. A little astringent. Maybe some Petit Verdot.
I wouldn't kick this out of bed for eating crackers, but I would prefer it with some lamb.
Hope you all are having an awesome Sunday!

Fruit-forward, but well structured. Lots of different and aromas and flavors to speak of, the different varieties mesh well…very eclectic but a little eager. — 21 days ago
