THE PRISONER WINE COMPANY:
Our winemaking team works with a family of growers to source a diverse variety of grapes from premier vineyards throughout California. The resulting wines are interesting blends of distinct quality and character.
ABOUT THE WINE:
From the most recognized Napa Valley red blend comes a distinct, new wine. Made in the same iconic style as The Prisoner Red Blend, we proudly introduce The Prisoner Cabernet Sauvignon. Redefining taste once again.
WINEMAKING:
Our hand-picked grapes ferment in bins for 10-20 days to allow the tannins to mature. All lots ferment separately and are pumped two times each day. Only once the tannins have fully developed are the grapes finally pressed, separating the juice from the skins.
WINEMAKER NOTES:
Aromas of black cherry and ripe plum are layered with vanilla and baking spice. Concentrated dark fruit flavors culminate in a lush, full mouthfeel and a lengthy finish.
THE BLEND:
Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Malbec, Petite Sirah, Charbono
AGING:
15 months in a combination of French and American oak barrels, 55% new
