Winery Background
The Prisoner Wine Company, based in Napa Valley, is known for bold, unconventional blends that challenge tradition. Inspired by the art of defiance and the creativity of the unexpected, the brand has built a cult following with its striking labels and even more striking wines.
Product Description

Tasting Note
- Nose: Enticing aromas of blackberry, plum, and black cherry rise up, layered with hints of cocoa, baking spices, and subtle vanilla from oak integration. A faint herbal edge adds lift and complexity.
- Palate: Full-bodied and plush, the wine opens with ripe dark fruits—think blackcurrant and blueberry—followed by mocha, licorice, and a touch of smoked cedar. Polished tannins provide structure while maintaining a smooth, velvety texture.
- Finish: Lingering and slightly savory, with echoes of dark berries, clove, and a hint of espresso. The finish is clean yet robust, encouraging another sip.
