esbrown reviewed Orin Swift Cellars "The Prisoner" Zinfandel Napa Valley 2008 on May 27, 2010 Though the grape breakdown may sound like this is a "kitchen sink" type of wine, this is consistently and convincingly one of the the best values in Napa Valley from one year to the next. $36.99 a value wine? Yup, as the Prisoner offers a unique mix of hedonistic dark fruit and spice, silky tannins, ample length and complexity and a drinkability for a big wine that is unlike any other out there. But don't take my word for it- look at the amazing rise in popularity of this wine over just a few short years. It's crazy, but that is because this wine is crazy good, so I guess that makes sense. |
