Tasting note
This Napa Valley red blend should lead with blackberry, ripe plum and dark cherry, with a soft aromatic hint of spice. The 2024 Prisoner is expected to feel plush and broad, its generous fruit supported by rounded tannins and fresh acidity that keeps the palate lively. Peak maturity is placed between 2027 and 2030, within a window ending in 2034; expect a lingering finish of dark berries, gentle spice and a lightly dry edge.
