Another blazing-hot Phinney Zin blend that obliterates the varietals involved yet delivers some guilty pleasure... a tad pricey for this level of quality though... you can get a fairly similar experience with his entry-level stuff and after a glass or two of 16% flamethrowers any difference will vanish entirely ;)

For some real fun, get a group of Prisoner fans in a blind tasting with a range of Phinney wines and watch as confusion and disbelief reign! — 10 years ago

Found a bottle in the closet of the ski condo! Disorganization pays off again... a little chilly in that closet after -10 temps, but a few minutes breathing time means BIG black cherry/cassis/plum/tar fun for New Years! — 11 years ago

The budget Ladera is pretty lovely in 13, with the bramble, black cherry and vanilla aspects, nice texture and good acids... a pretty good deal in the mid 30s too... — 10 years ago
