The Prisoner 2019 Proprietary Red Wine

The Prisoner wine was inspired by “Mixed Blacks”, which are field blends that were common in California more than 100 years ago. These interplanted vineyards were predominantly Zinfandel vines intermixed with varieties like Petite Sirah, Carignane, and Alicante Bouchet.

With the right ‘mix’ of varieties, these vineyards can produce deeply flavored wines with profound character, and charm. The Prisoner is sourced from multiple sites, so it’s not technically a “Mixed Blacks” wine, however, the style and varietal mix share tasteful similarities.

Created from a compilation of strategically selected sites throughout Napa Valley, including Korte Ranch in St. Helena and Tiedemann Ranch in Yountville, The Prisoner exists because of the relationships and collaboration with each of their growers.

The 2019 served time in French and American barrels, and was built around a core of Zinfandel, and enhanced with Cabernet Sauvignon, Petite Sirah, Syrah, and Charbono.

This latest release condemns your taste buds to a sentence filled with provocative red, blue and black fruits, sweet tannins and elaborate flavors, and even the toughest restraints couldn’t contain the fun and excitement that this wine exudes.

Winery Notes, “Features enticing aromas of Bing cherry, dark chocolate, clove, and roasted fig. Persistent flavors of ripe raspberry, boysenberry, pomegranate, and vanilla linger harmoniously, for a smooth and luscious finish.”
