2023 COMPLICIT RED BLEND
California • 2023 Vintage
The newest iteration of a convention-defying collaboration from The Prisoner Wine Co. and High West Whiskey, Complicit Red Blend is always one of our most flavorful wines. Partially aged in High West bourbon and rye barrels, this full-bodied blend of hand-picked Zinfandel and Sangiovese is ready to impress aficionados of all kinds. Tannins were a bit big in 2023 which led to blending touches of Tempranillo and Petite Sirah to achieve our desired balance.
Each vineyard block was held in tank separate through to barreling. Meticulous work was done to determine lots that would see these beautiful Rye and Bourbon barrels from High West. The Whiskey barrels were still wet with spirit when wine was transferred to them. The wine aged in a mix of Whiskey and barrique wine barrels for 9 months before blending and bottling.

Love ❤️
"The best vinery of the world"
"Nothing to dislike"
"Outstanding wine"
Enjoyable, but needs more time
"The wine is well balanced for a red blend finished in bourbon barrels but lacks a strong finish. Perhaps it will age better, but still enjoyable but not $100 a bottle yet."
Interesting and catchy
"I believe if a person is strong enough to save some of this for a couple of years this will be an exceptional wine"

Q&A

- Hi Joe, The Complicit is a winery exclusive product and will not be found in any retail stores. You can order that through our website however please note that we cannot ship direct to consumer in UT so you will need to use an address in a neighboring state. Have a great day!
- i am in utah how can i buy this?
- I am sorry but we are not able to ship direct to consumer into the state of Utah. The only way for you to get the product would be to have it ship to a friend or family member in a neighboring state.
- Is this a package deal that includes the High West whiskey bottle ?
- Hi Shawn, Sadly, this does not include a bottle of The Prisoner's Share from High West as High West is limited to 5 Licensed Ship-To States. This is simply a collaboration with High West where we finish ageing our Red Blend in High West Bourbon Barrels.
- Just bought 6 bottles and can not add the 10% discount . Can you help?
- Hi Stephen, thank you for reaching out! We can assist you with this, just reach out to us via email (customerservice@theprisonerwinecompany.coom) with the details of your order and we'll send you a custom invoice if the discount is not applying correctly.
- For how long could it be kept in vine cellar?
- Hi Jovas, thank you for reaching out! For the Complicit Red Blend, if you're planning on cellaring it, we recommend to do so for 5-7 years for optimal balance and aging. If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to reach out to our email (customerservice@theprisonerwinecompany.com)
