Tasting note
The Prisoner Wine Company's 2025 Red Blend should show Zinfandel's ripe blackberry, plum and pepper, with a warm aromatic edge. Expect Napa Valley fruit to make a generous palate, rounded in texture yet held in shape by supple tannins and fresh acidity. The stated peak period runs from 2026 through 2030, inside a drinking range to 2034. A long, fruit driven finish should gather dark berry, spice and a faint savory note.
