The Prisoner Wine Co, The Prisoner(Red Blend) 2021 囚犯酒莊囚犯混釀紅酒

THE PRISONER WINE COMPANY
The Prisoner Wine's winemaking team works with a family of growers to source a diverse variety of grapes from premier vineyards throughout California. The resulting wines are interesting blends of distinct quality and character.

ABOUT THE WINE
The Prisoner was inspired by the blended wines first made by the Italian immigrants who originally settled in Napa Valley. The Prisoner is now the most recognized red blend, leading the resurgence of interesting blends by incorporating Zinfandel with the unlikely mix of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petite Sirah, Syrah, and Charbono.

WINEMAKER NOTES
Features enticing aromas of Bing cherry, dark chocolate, clove, and roasted fig. Persistent flavors of ripe raspberry, boysenberry, pomegranate, and vanilla linger harmoniously for a smooth and luscious finish.

THE BLEND
Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petite Sirah, Syrah, Charbono

AGING

美國膜拜酒莊 囚犯酒莊 旗艦酒款

Dave Phinney於1998年創立 Orin Swift酒莊，
身為加利福尼亞洲最具影響力和創新意識的釀酒師之一。

從2000年他釀造出以Zinfandel為基礎的The Prisoner 囚犯系列紅葡萄酒開始，酒莊的紅葡萄酒混釀就以美味而實惠的特性和極具辨識性的酒標而不斷激起愛酒人士的喜好

The Prisoner沒有自己的葡萄園，到處買優質小農的葡萄來混調，隨著知名度上升，產量也逐年提升。它在2010年為名莊Quintessa看上，那時它已是年產8萬5000箱的中型酒莊,在Quintess的加持下，酒款愈來愈多，產量更達17萬箱，但不變的是奇特的混調方式：像酒莊目前的白酒(Blindfold),用上夏多内、胡姍、維歐尼耶、白梢楠、密思嘉、弗門提諾,從布根地、隆河、羅亞爾河到義大利各品種全部集合在一起，品飲者可說有著極其獨特的經驗，而且市場看來相當買帳，於是這間酒莊又被葡萄酒界巨人Constellation看上 、2016年成了集團的一分子。
