2023 THORN MERLOT BY THE PRISONER
Napa Valley • 2023 Vintage
Working with our growers in Napa Valley, we have wonderful access to small, premium vineyard lots of Merlot, which served as our inspiration to create Thorn. The Merlot was blended with a touch of Petite Verdot to help give its inky color and little Malbec to accentuate the fruit.
Mixed berry coolis, sweet spices and hints of cocoa tease your nose. The palate is soft and plush with a full mid palate and a sturdy, lengthy finish. Flavors of black berries, and dried red berries, dominate with hints of holiday spices carrying through to the finish.

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.
