I had this wine about a year ago and I thought it seemed to be ok. Similar to other Prisoner wines, it is huge, overdone, overripe, over jammy, and not a good representation of the Merlot grape. I think if one is to drink this wine, it should be consumed young because no good is coming from holding this wine. Maybe my palate is changing again, but this should only be recommended to those who love the rich, jammy, and oaky wines of Napa. I wasn't reaching for a second (or third) glass of this.

About what I expected - big and lacking intrigue.

Delicious and juicy merlot for cab lovers. Fruit forward but not overly so.

opens up nicely. High alcohol for a Merlot. Sugar level was higher than expected

A good merlot. Cork had some leakage, but was drinkable still.
