Not at all my thing, but I get why it’s some people’s thing. Baked cherry pie. Concentrated and giving. 15.5% abv.

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!

Unexpectedly mid+ body, elegant. 2021 @, Pieroth, 231117
This is different from red blend. Good concentration. Robust structure. But with elegancy @16000, Pieroth, 240120

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.
