The Prisoner Red Blend · California · 2023
The Prisoner Wine Company built its reputation on a rule-bending California red blend. Its team, led by Director of Winemaking Todd Ricard, works with growers across northern California to bring together fruit for a wine that favors character over convention.
The winemaker note already on this listing describes dried blackberry and açai, cedar and tobacco leaf, followed by sweet baking spices. Dark cherry, blackberry and anise carry through to a soft, vibrant finish balanced by ripe tannins. Pour a glass for a generous dinner or a long evening with friends.
Critic reviews · Vintage 2023
Tasting Panel, 91 Points — Packed with very ripe flavors, 15.5% stated alcohol, and plenty of coconut-scented oak riding atop its mostly black-toned fruit. Notable sweetness helps balance out the 35% new oak and buffers the wine's tannin load, resulting in a very big wine with forgivingly soft texture.
Wine Enthusiast, 90 Points — Lavish and full-bodied, the red blend from Prisoner delivers ripe mixed fruits, crushed chocolate blended with dried caramel, vanilla bean, and a light pour of espresso. Succulent tannins and layers of spice make for a forward, crowd pleasing wine.
