Natalie's Score: 91/100

The Prisoner 2021 is a dry, full-bodied red wine blend of Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petite Sirah, Syrah and Charbono. A dark-fruited, rich and plushy red, look for crushed black raspberry, red berry, dark cherry leather and vanilla flavours smooth and lush on the palate. The Prisoner Red Blend was inspired by the wines first made by the Italian immigrants who originally settled in Napa Valley. The Prisoner is now the most recognized red blend because of their collaboration with growers, some who have been with the winery from its inception, starting with the Solari Family Vineyard in Calistoga, to the Korte Ranch in St. Helena; a vineyard that outlasted Prohibition and has sustained four generations of wine growers.

Cabernet Sauvignon food pairings: meat-lover's pizza topped with more meat, roast pork, lamburgers.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
