Has a nice fragrance of dark cherry and jam.
Drinks well and is fruit forward with flavors of dark cherries, jam and spice. Given time to breathe, it finishes smoothly!

A good wine, but not quite as good as I expected. Certainly solid. It went well with both the elk steaks and the marinated salmon we paired it with.

Had it couple weeks ago at a friend’s house and it felt closed and watered down, not exactly the type of wine Prisoner would make, so I opened my own.

If tasted blind, I would think this is a Garnacha, given its medium to full body. The 5% Syrah in this bottling is uncommon, possibly contributing to the subtle gamey and peppery notes? Darker fruits on the nose. Round acidity. Candied strawberry on the finish.

Really nice.

Overpriced over-saturated over alcohol

Some interesting elements underneath but needs to settle down or it is a headache inducing wine

Dark fruit. Easy drinking. Not a ton of complexity.
