Add your reviewThis may just be the best wine I've tasted. Branham Jazz is right up there as well as the 2002 Silver Oak Cab but for $35-40 you simply won't find a better wine. Very rich, complex, more chocolate than fruit, simply outstanding.
This is my fovorite wine - no other wine seems to change so much from opening the bottle and the first pour to an hour later (or so) when I'm finishing the bottle. This wine is a regular in my celler and goes well with or without food. It's extrememly versatile in pairing with almost anything.
We first discovered this wine in a restaurant in Denver Co. What a delight! This is one of the most delicious reds I have ever tasted. Bold, full & rich in the mouth, but so smooth in the finish! A personal favorite for special gathering.
Had this Wine for Thanksgiving Dinner this year. My Grandfather and Dad the more Mature Wine Drinkers Really enjoyed It. Ithought it was a little bold and heavy. It definitely needed food to accompany it. This Wine get a 2.5 from me just because it was so bold (too bold for me) 14.1%Alc.
External Reviews for Orin Swift Zinfandel Blend Napa Valley the Prisoner
It's rare that a Zin has this much structure and finesse. Offers appealing aromas of plum, pepper and tobacco, with focused, layered wild berry, pencil lead and sage flavors. A hint of rusticity on the tannins suggests that there's no hurry to drink.... Wine Spectator. A Proprietary Blend wine from California in USA. 2006 Orin Swift The Prisoner Proprietary Red Wine 750ml
Orin Swift's The Prisoner 2006 Magnum There's nothing better then a great wine in a large format bottle! The 2006 blends the lush berry flavors of Zinfandel(51%), the power and concentration of Cabernet Sauvignon (23%), the dark black fruit of Syrah (12%), the intensity and structure of Petit Sirah (6%), the flesh of Charbono (6%) and a hint of Grenache (2%) - all combined for a decadent wine with great complexity. 91 Points - Wine Spectator It's rare that a Zin has this much structure and finesse. Offers appealing aromas of plum, pepper and tobacco, with focused, layered wild berry, pencil lead and sage flavors. A hint of rusticity on the tannins suggests that there's no hurry to drink.
