WINEMAKER NOTES

Cocoa, mocha, espresso, and dark cherry aromas. Full with medium tannins and a juicy finish. While working with our growers in Napa Valley, we came across small, premium vineyard lots of Merlot, which served as our inspiration to create Thorn. The Merlot was blended with Syrah to create depth in the body while Malbec and Petite Sirah accentuate the fruit.

Blend: 80% Merlot; 20% Blend of Syrah, Petite Sirah, and Malbec

ABOUT THE PRISONER WINE COMPANY

Our winemaking team works with a family of growers to source a diverse variety of grapes from premier vineyards throughout California. The resulting wines are interesting blends of distinct quality and character.

Our winemaking philosophy since the very first vintage of The Prisoner was to craft wines that are thought provoking and approachable. All of our wines focus on an experience defined by texture and mouthfeel. This commonality across our portfolio results in bold, fruit forward wines with velvety soft tannins.
