2021 SLIVER RED WINE NAPA VALLEY

Napa Valley • 2021 Vintage

An aurally enticing name that attests to this red wine's origins as a slice of The Prisoner Red Blend. Defined as a slender, sharp piece, the word has an edge and alludes to what’s missing and what’s present. With its closeness to shiver and slither, this sensorially provocative name creeps towards us, but also carries an undercurrent of positivity, a sliver of hope. A name that’s silky on the tongue, befitting a wine with presence on the palate

Redefining the art of the blend

Inspired by the original red blend first made by Italian immigrants who settled in Napa Valley, this expressive wine carries that spirit forward through an unexpected mix of varietals and a distinctly modern point of view.

"I was looking for a cozy and delicious wine to enjoy on a cold winter night, and I found the perfect one: this new red wine with blackcherry and a hint of cinnamon. It was smooth, rich, and warming, with a lovely balance of sweetness and spice. The cinnamon added a subtle warmth and complexity. It paired well with Sharp Cheddar cheese and crackers, and it was the ideal treat for us sitting by the fire. I highly recommend this wine to anyone who loves a cozy and flavorful red wine."
