Red wine | California, USA
The Prisoner Cabernet Sauvignon is a bold and captivating red wine that breaks the mold of traditional Cabernet Sauvignons. Hailing from the esteemed Napa Valley, this wine showcases the artistry of The Prisoner Wine Company, known for its innovative blends and striking label designs. The wine is primarily Cabernet Sauvignon, often complemented by other complementary varietals. The result is a full-bodied wine with a rich, dark ruby color. On the nose, The Prisoner Cabernet Sauvignon offers an enticing bouquet of dark fruit aromas such as blackberry, black cherry, and plum, intertwined with hints of vanilla, cedar, and a touch of mocha. The palate is greeted with a smooth and velvety texture, showcasing layers of flavors that echo the aromas, accompanied by notes of dark chocolate, spice, and well-integrated oak. Its tannins are firm yet polished, providing structure and aging potential, while the finish is long and satisfying. This wine's complexity and depth make it an excellent companion to hearty dishes such as grilled steak, roasted lamb, or braised short ribs. Its bold flavors also pair well with rich cheeses and decadent chocolate desserts. Consider decanting the wine for at least 15 minutes to fully appreciate its aromas and flavors. Serve it at around 18°C to enhance its characteristics and elevate your tasting experience.
