The Prisoner
The 2006 Prisoner by Orin Swift Cellars (www.orinswift.com) in CA is a Zinfandel mix with 51 % Zin, 23% cabernet and a mix of other varietals. It has an upfront jammy taste with blackberry and plum and some coffee to mix. It is a medium bodied wine with smooth tannins. The back end taste was chocolate and spices. Really enjoyed this wine but I think putting it in the cellar for another 2-3 years would bring out the best. Nice wine for grilled meats. We cannot grill without a nice sauce for the meat. I think this is a very good wine, although a little pricey ($35). Getting into a range where there are better wines available. Wine Spectator gave this wine a 91 point rating. I recommend buying this wine as well.
