The Prisoner Unshackled Cabernet Sauvignon 2022
Central Coast, California, United StatesThe Prisoner's Unshackled is a Central Coast blend of mostly cabernet sauvignon, with malbec, petite sirah, syrah, and merlot. This wine features pronounced black cherry, with ripe fruit balanced by a rustic, meaty, earthy undertone of black olive and some bitterness. It attempts to appeal to both styles but ultimately does not fully establish a clear identity. Notably, The Prisoner labels tend to resonate well with consumers, so perhaps we underestimate its overall appeal.
