2018 Napa Valley Bold Unshackled Red Blend Cabernet-Merlot

The Prisoner 2018 Unshackled Red Blend: Bold California Wines Crafted for Adventure

Indulge in a vibrant fusion of California’s finest grapes—Zinfandel, Malbec, Petite Sirah, Syrah, and Grenache—harmonized into a bold red blend that defies convention. This 2018 vintage opens with an aromatic explosion of ripe raspberry, dark blueberry compote, and crushed violet petals, inviting you to savor its complexity. On the palate, juicy spiced cherries intertwine with subtle white pepper undertones and a touch of wildflower honey, culminating in a velvety finish that lingers gracefully.

Aged 10 months in French and American oak casks, this red blend achieves perfect balance—structured yet approachable—with tannins that are firm yet refined. Ideal for elevating hearty meals or casual gatherings alike, it pairs effortlessly with smoky BBQ pork ribs or umami-rich portobello burgers.

What sets this California red apart? A meticulous grape selection process captures the essence of each varietal’s terroir while maintaining a cohesive flavor profile. With 14.5% ABV offering warmth without overwhelming the senses, The Prisoner Unshackled is your go-to choice for exploring bold spice-forward wines that complement adventurous palates and culinary creations alike.
