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!

Notes of black cherry, cassis, sandalwood, baking spices, and just subtle green olive, which are consistent with the notes from about 9 months ago. Delicious.
Prisoner’s Cab can age for 10-15 years.

Little too black fruit forward. Darker notes than typically enjoyed however would pair well with a nice steak. Could come around to the bitter notes potentially. Solid quality overall.

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.

Drinks well with big foods. Cherry, pepper, and some chocolate.
