The Prisoner Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

Ming L
9.2

The nose shows black cherry, cassis, sandalwood, baking spices, and just hint of green bell pepper. Ripe and juicy on the palate leaning towards a bit jammy, but there is sufficient acidic lift. Silky tannins. Long candied finishes.
I really like The Prisoner wines, and this is no exception. Have a good 8-10 years ahead.

Dérangé Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2017

Ming L
9.3

Unabashedly opulent and powerful, this cab leading blend is also quite refined. Perfectly ripen dark fruits scented with toasty oaks, black pepper, and violet. Rich, sophisticated, and layered on the palate with a soft touch. Supple tannins reasserted its authority at the end of long finish.
Yet another very impressive bottling from the Prisoner.

Unshackled California Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

Not bad. Fruit forward, but decent acidity and way less wood than the red blend. Says it’s from central coast. I’d buy it again at a discount. — 2 months ago

Pachyderm Thorn Ridge Vineyard Pinot Noir 2014

Pale ruby color- very translucent. Had to give this one a 30 min. decanting. Muted red fruit flavors, black olive, floral notes and earthy. The 10 years has given this some interesting flavors of cranberry, cherry, baking spices and a red fruit finish. — 2 months ago
