The Prisoner Wine Company will be donating 3% of Red Blend sales to The Center for Art & Advocacy.

The 2023 Prisoner Red Blend is another stunning example of creativity and craftsmanship in winemaking. The combination of Zinfandel with Petite Sirah, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Malbec is an intriguing mix that promises complexity and depth. In the glass, this full-bodied, opulent red reveals classic cranberry, blackberry, dried plum, caramelized vanilla, nutmeg and toasted coconut notes on the nose. The palate has a soft mouthfeel and a smooth and luscious finish, perfectly balanced with red and black fruit and an integrated sweet spice.

About Our Vineyards

When you outgrow winemaking tradition, you must forge your own path. And we did. The Prisoner exists because of the collaboration with our growers, many of which have been with us since the very beginning—from the Solari Family Vineyard in Calistoga, where old school sensibilities meet new techniques, to the Korte Ranch in St. Helena, a vineyard whose diligence outlasted the Prohibition and has sustained four generations.

Pts. Tasting Panel "Packed with very ripe flavors, 15.5% stated alcohol, and plenty of coconut-scented oak riding atop its mostly black-toned fruit. Notable sweetness helps balance out the 35% new oak and buffers the wine’s tannin load, resulting in a very big wine with forgivingly soft texture." - Michael Franz, Tasting Panel, July 2025
