The Prisoner Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 is born from Napa Valley’s sun-drenched vineyards, shaped by a warm vintage that delivered ripe fruit and natural intensity. Crafted by The Prisoner Wine Company, this wine blends predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon with Petite Sirah, Syrah, and Malbec, aged in a mix of French and American oak to enhance depth and polish. Bottled at 15.0% ABV, it reflects a bold yet approachable expression of modern Napa Cabernet.
On the nose, warm aromas of cinnamon bark, clove, Christmas cake, crushed rock, and dried currant mingle with fresh ground coffee. The palate is soft and plush with a full mid-palate, revealing black coffee, dried red berries, and lingering holiday spice framed by fine-grained tannins and a long, sturdy finish. Best enjoyed decanted and served slightly below room temperature, it pairs beautifully with grilled meats or rich, savory dishes, or simply sipped slowly on its own.
