The Prisoner Red Blend 750ml

Discover The Prisoner Red Blend 750ml:

Dark red, almost pomegranate red with bright red on the edge. Clean cherry and cedar on the nose with touches of dried rose petals and sweet oak. Nice entrance that leads to a medium fat and spicy palate. The finish is dominated by figs and blackcurrant with a wide range of soft and well integrated tannins. The Prisoner Wine Company purchases grapes from over 100 vineyards in California’s top wine regions, working with phenomenal producers seeking to produce unique varietals. Chrissy Wittmann and his winemaking team work with this family of winemakers, visiting each vineyard throughout the year to carefully evaluate the style and quality of each blend to make the best wine from each variety.

Some of California’s largest wines are a blend of different red grape varieties. The most successful blends follow the recipes of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot Bordeaux, but with an even greater intensity. These wines are usually perfumed and strong with a lot of ripe blackberry, blackcurrant and vanilla flavor.

The first Prisoner Wine Company wine with the same name was inspired by drunken “mixed black” wines made by Italian emigrants who originally settled in the Napa Valley. Since its launch, The Prisoner was soon recognized as one of the most innovative wines in the Napa Valley, which led to the renaissance of Californian red blends and became an “iconic wine”. Now, in addition to the white blend (blindfolded), Chardonnay (Bufo), Cabernet Sauvignon (Clip), Zinfandel (Saldo), Merlot (Thorn) and red blend (Derange), the philosophy of “The Prisoner Wine Company” remains unchanged: to work with a family of winemakers in all of California’s best wine regions to create wines of exceptional quality and unexpected character.
