The Prisoner Wine Company
Unshackled Red Blend
California, USA
Give me this over their actual ‘The Prisoner’ blend. Nearly half the price… and The Prisoner isn’t twice as good.
Your typical commercialized California red blend… smooth and more fruit than the average palate needs.

A central coast Cab leading blend thats bold and fruit-forward. Ripe blackberry and dark cherry mingle with notes of mocha and vanilla. An entry level bottling from the Prisoner. Not bad given the price point.

2019- smooth and easy. Lacking solid structure, and a little too fruit forward. Subtle smoky finish saves it a little

Not a bad Publix bottle that I sampled on Saturday. Fruity with some side chocolate. Good pizza wine
