The Prisoner Wine Company The Prisoner Napa Valley Zinfandel Blend 2016
New release! The new 2016 vintage of Prisoner has arrived! The Prisoner Zinfandel is our most popular and best-selling red wine every year: its simply the most delicious Zin blend available. Don't miss this delicious fruit bomb bursting with deep, rich flavors. Winemaker Notes: "The wine has a dense red and black hue that is framed in vibrant crimson. Aromas of Bing cherry, espresso, roasted fig and vanillin oak accents are persistent. The entry is powerful and generous supported with lively acidity while flavors of ripe raspberry, pomegranate and wild berry fruit linger harmoniously. Soft, integrated tannin chains allow the wine to be approachable now and provides for a pleasant finish. 51% Zinfandel, 19% Cabernet Sauvignon,15% Syrah, 12% Petite Sirah, 2% Charbono, 1% Grenache." Robert Parker: "I love what he's done with The Prisoner, a blend of Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, and the balance Syrah, Petite Sirah, Charbono, and Grenache. This is a big, sexy, fruit bomb boasting abundant amounts of black, blue, and red fruits along with pepper, spice box, earth, and herbs. It tastes like the unmanipulated essence of the fruit of a Mediterranean vineyard. Soft tannins, medium to full body, and a heady mouthfeel make this a seductive wine to enjoy over the next 2-3 years."

Big, dark and rich! Dark fruit aromas and flavors. Black pepper and licorice notes. Hint of tobacco and cola. Lots of oak. and fully extracted. A little Bret but the tannins are relatively smooth for a young vintage.

Very enjoyable wine but was less impressed upon trying a second bottle. Smooth and somewhat mild in flavor but the texture feels great. Dark fruits yet subtle. Would drink again but perhaps not quite worthy of the price tag.

Silky, full bodied, dark cherry flavor, smoky aftertaste, great with pepper crusted filet.

Heavy purple floral cherry berry nose. Chewy cherry licorice mouth. Long astringent finish. The best Prisoner blend wine Dave's split from the winery.
