Sipping Fine Wine

9.2

Had this about 6 months ago, got better with a little age. The Prisoner Wine Company’s eponymous first wine was inspired by the drinkable “mixed blacks” made by the Italian immigrants who originally settled in Napa Valley. Fruit from vineyards in warm Oak Knoll and cool-climate Carneros with just a touch of Roussanne. Pleasant aromas of tropical fruits and citrus. Fresh flavors of peach, apple and lemon zest, well balanced, vivid acidity with nice mouthfeel. Lingering finish ending with mineral notes. Nice! — 5 days ago

Body of a Chardonnay, but rounder with more acidity. A great example of what can be achieved with blending. — a month ago
