Robert Parker once wrote of Prisoner Wine Co.: "This winery, dedicated to négociant, relatively large-production cuvées of blended wines, was founded by the brilliant Dave Phinney and sold in 2009. Today the wines are made by the very talented Jen Beloz. These wines are distinctive, creative blends of exceptionally high quality, especially given the production totals that they achieve." Prisoner Wine Co. is now owned by Constellation Brands. Indicative blend: Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petite Sirah, Syrah, Charbono.

Winemaker Notes

Cuttings combines the deep, intense flavor of Cabernet Sauvignon with the structure and richness of Petite Sirah and Syrah. A small amount of Zinfandel adds a nice layer of complexity and spiciness. Deliciously smooth with flavors of blueberry, dark cherry, and cocoa. Aromas of fresh roasted coffee, black currant, vanilla bean, brown spice, and wild berries.

Critical Acclaim

WS92
Wine Spectator
Sleek in feel and restrained in profile, with subtle black tea and anise notes leading to a very focused core of cherry and plum purée flavors. A flash of apple wood appears on the finish. Nicely done. Drink now through 2028.
