Unshackled Red Wine (75cl, 14.5%)

Unshackled Red Wine is a multi-varietal California red blend from The Prisoner Wine Company, bottled at 14.5% ABV in a 750ml bottle. It draws fruit from Central Coast and North Coast regions, including Monterey, Lodi, Paso Robles, Dry Creek Valley and Redwood Valley, and blends Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, Malbec, Syrah, Tannat and Cabernet Sauvignon. Under winemaker Chrissy Wittmann, it ages 10 to 11 months in French and American oak barrels. The aroma leads with ripe raspberry and blueberry, crushed violets and subtle spice. The palate is fruit-forward with spiced dried cherry, dark berry, floral undertones and white pepper, with roasted walnut and chocolate emerging as it opens. The finish is medium-long, with ripe tannins and lingering dark fruit, cocoa and gentle spice.
