Introduction:
The Prisoner Red Blend draws inspiration from the wines first created by Italian immigrants in Napa Valley. Now the most recognized red blend, The Prisoner leads the way in the resurgence of unique blends, combining Zinfandel with an unlikely mix of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petite Sirah, Syrah, and Charbono. The result is a complex and harmonious wine with bright aromas and a smooth, luscious finish.
Tasting Notes:
- Aroma: Bing cherry, dark chocolate, clove, and roasted fig
- Flavour: Raspberry, boysenberry, pomegranate, and vanilla
- Finish: Smooth and lingering with well-integrated fruit and spice flavors
Pairing Suggestions:
Chef Brett recommends pairing The Prisoner Red Blend with Kalbi short ribs or chicken mole tostada. This wine also pairs beautifully with grilled meats, barbecue, or aged cheeses.
