The Prisoner Wine Company The Snitch Napa Valley Chardonnay 2016
New! Brand new Chardonnay release from the Prisoner Wine Co: introducing The Snitch Chardonnay. Leave it to The Prisoner Wine Company to bottle such a provocative, bombastic Chardonnay from Oak Knoll and Carneros, blended with a touch of Roussanne. The Snitch Chardonnay is a big, roomy, and sweet-fruited, this has notes of grilled pineapple, yellow plum, and ripe figs, and it will pair beautifully with something simple but decadent. Fresh tropical fruit, apple, and pear on the nose. The palate offers richness balanced by bright acidity. When creating our wines, we always look for fresh approaches to traditional varietals. For The Snitch, we combined Chardonnay from exceptional vineyards in warm Oak Knoll and cool-climate Carneros with just a touch of Roussanne. The result is bright and rich with an unexpected something special. Chardonnay and Roussanne

Full-on, rich, tropical. Everything you'd expect from this wine. It resulted in a headache the next day for my mother in law. She was not in a good mood.

Grabbed another bottle, keeps getting better with age. The Prisoner Wine Company’s eponymous first wine was inspired by the drinkable “mixed blacks” made by the Italian immigrants who originally settled in Napa Valley. Fruit from vineyards in warm Oak Knoll and cool-climate Carneros with just a touch of Roussanne. Pleasant aromas of tropical fruits and citrus. Fresh flavors of peach, apple and lemon zest, well balanced, vivid acidity with nice mouthfeel. Lingering finish ending with mineral notes. wow!

Might be the best California chard I've tried. Yes, it's big on flavor and oak, but still very balanced and fresh thanks to some acidity. Very long mineral finish with baked apple and peach. A good one for early Fall evenings.

First wine in the vineyard wine dinner. Paired with scallops in hazelnut cream sauce. A bit oaky with a long luscious finish.
