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

Overpriced. Slight fruity and easy drinking $55 drinks like $25

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!

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.

Great wine definitely a good flavor. Good to drink with pizza or beef

Hints of jammy fruit. Oak, vanilla, plum, blackberry, and tobacco. Bold with smooth tannins. Easy drinking. Potential for aging.
