The Prisoner Pinot Noir (750Ml)

The Prisoner Pinot Noir is a Sonoma Coast red from The Prisoner Wine Company. For the 2022 vintage, the winery blends fruit from two areas. The Russian River Valley gives it range. The cool, foggy Petaluma Gap adds a coastal, mineral edge.

The 2022 wine is 100% Pinot Noir at 14.5% alcohol. Some earlier bottlings blended in Syrah, so check the vintage on your bottle. The wine is aged in French oak barrels.

Ripe cranberry and dried black cherry lead the nose. Early floral notes follow, with hints of mocha, chai, and leather. In the mouth it feels plush. Juicy black cherry and spice fill the middle. The finish is long and layered, with cardamom and clove.

Pour it with grilled salmon, mushroom risotto, or roast duck. Serve it slightly cool, around 55 to 60°F, so the fruit stays fresh. It also does well on a cheese board.

Skip it if you want simple, bold wines with one loud note. This one has layers and takes its time in the glass. If you enjoy a Pinot with fruit, spice, and a little earth, it is worth a try.
