First of the two blind Zinfandel blends paired with our turkey burgers and black bean veggie burgers. Deep garnet red. A bit herbal on the nose with dark fruits that became stronger with air. Medium tannins (6.5/10) and light plus to medium bodied. Rich and plush attack, drinking its best between hour one and two. Notes of strawberry jam, boysenberries, blackcurrants, bramble berries, blue fruits, asian spices and a touch of cocoa. Finish lingers for quite a bit. Drink till 2019.
This Prisoner was the first vintage under their new ownership (no longer with Orin Swift). This vintage is made up of 51% Zinfandel, 19% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Syrah, 7% Petite Sirah, 3% Charbono, 1% Malbec and 1% Grenache. Needed twenty minutes or so to open up but beautiful fruits after that.

Great wine with smooth finish. Still has decent fruit (blue) on the nose and taste. Great quality wine. Evolution on your palate

Great wine. A few years really seems to make this one better. Tons of fruit, mature and balanced. Drink now and enjoy this inexpensive gem.

2009 in mag. Wax Cover. Coak only slight coloration at end. Decanted an hour. Jammy strong dark fruit. Slight astringent Flavor, long tannins as mild on aftertaste. Like by all, served with rack of lamb/creamed fennel. Give it a very high 89
