2008 Wine - Red Orin Swift

2008 Orin Swift The Prisoner (California - Napa Valley, United States)
Wine - Red $139.99 (1.5L)

This melange of Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Petite Sirah, Charbono (Bonarda), and Grenache - everything but the kitchen sink. Blueberries, espresso notes, plum, chocolate, cardamon, and some savour provide the stunningly complex flavour profile. The 2008 is a more forward drinking vintage than the 2007 was. Enjoy this with grilled red meat.

Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate

Rating: 90

The 2008 Prisoner, a blend of 46% Zinfandel, 26% Cabernet Sauvignon, and the balance Syrah, Petite Sirah, Charbono, and Grenache. With over 15% alcohol, this is a big, sexy, fruit bomb boasting abundant amounts of black, blue, and red fruits along with pepper, spice box, earth, and herbs. It tastes like the unmanipulated essence of the fruit of a Mediterranean vineyard. Soft tannins, medium to full body, and a heady mouthfeel make this a seductive wine to enjoy over the next 2-3 years.

James Laube, Wine Spectator

Rating: 92

Focused, rich and ripe, showing aromas of black cherry and smoky pepper, with sleek but complex flavors of boysenberry, licorice and toasty oak that linger with balanced tannins. Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Petite Sirah, Charbono and Grenache. Drink now through 2015.
