The Prisoner, Red Blend

Save

Sweet-fruited and soft, which suits a sticky glaze better than a serious Cabernet would. The everyday red.

Sweet-fruited and soft, which suits a sticky glaze better than a dry rub. Not a wine for a delicate plate; it was not built for one.

How it tastes

Blackberry and black cherry jam, mocha, vanilla and a little dried fig.

Full-bodied and dry, plush and round, with soft tannin. Reads sweet.
