The Prisoner Red Wine 2016
Napa Valley, California, United StatesThe Prisoner is said to be the most recognised Napa Valley red blend. I are guessing it's because at $50, it's hundreds of dollars cheaper than most other big Napa red blends. The Prisoner is said to be inspired by the old mixed black field blends first made by Italian immigrants arriving in Napa in the late 1800s. It is a zinfandel mixed with cabernet sauvignon, petite sirah, syrah, and charbono that presents large, dark and red. Cherries and chocolates with vanilla and figs mark the nose while the palate is similar with intense blackberry pie and ripe raspberry jam stretched into a long, smooth, glossy vanilla, caramel, boysenberry finish. This is the full-meal deal red with an amazingly sweet finish. Best with spicy food.Tasted: 01 November 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $59.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
