January 8, 2023 - Surprisingly light for something from the Prisioner Wine Co. Very pleasant, medium acidity, soft tannins. Already showing age signals, so I guess it’s time to open the cork as it does not seem to me be it will benefit from more time in the cellar.

August 9, 2022 - This was more syrupy and jammy than the last bottle. And a strange residue clung to the inside of the bottle. I believe this was stored improperly. A perfect pairing for the unlabled brisket point I mistook for a bavette and cooked improperly.

May 24, 2022 - Waited 5 years to drink this bottle. Love the austere presentation. Purple hue, light body. Black fruit nose. Palate followed the nose, very smooth and mild tannins. Medium finish with a subtle lingering blackberry. Paired it with sirloin flap (aka bavette) Texas rub of chilies, mild char. A tasty wine and a great effort by the prisoner wine company. Not overly jammy like some Zinfandel. Great Summer time bbq wine. If you find it, drink it.

February 18, 2022 - Blackberry, black cherry, and vague watermelon to the nose. Fat, plummy bright fruit overall. Sharp bite to the cherry and strawberry note. Some bright notes throughout. Long dry but not tannic finish. Absolutely a delightful experience.

January 5, 2022 - It’s a little sweet for a Zinfandel but solid overall.
