The Prisoner Wine Co. 'The Prisoner'
Inspired by the “mixed blacks” blends made by Italian immigrants of the Napa Valley, The Prisoner is an innovative, unique and very drinkable blend that incorporates Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Petite Sirah, and Charbono. Expect to taste bing cherries mingling with warm figs and dark roast espresso. It finishes smooth and lushiously with tart red berries for a taste that the Wine Spectator gave a solid 91 points.
Pair with a gorgeously bloody steak or a thick juicy burger to bring out the strong palate, or serve more casually with a plate of hard cheeses and fall or winter fruits, like pomegrate, persimmon and fig.
