Unshackled Cabernet Sauvignon by The Prisoner 2022/2023

The Unshackled Cabernet Sauvignon by The Prisoner Wine Company is a bold, modern, and delightfully unconventional California red wine focused on capturing pure fruit vibrancy. It displays a deep ruby hue in the glass, opening with an aromatic bouquet of dark plum, ripe blackberry, and boysenberry, accented by unique undertones of black tea, olive tapenade, and dried herbs. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, smooth, and fruit-forward, featuring a rich core of black stone fruits layered with hints of cocoa, clove, warm vanilla, and toasted oak shavings. Balanced by fresh, integrated acidity and a solid yet pillowy tannin structure, it glides into a clean, lasting finish highlighted by sweet baking spices and mocha.

Food Pairing: Pairs beautifully with charcoal-grilled bison burgers, pork meatballs in rich tomato sauce, braised short ribs, jambalaya, and roasted root vegetables, or alongside a decadent dark chocolate and raspberry layer cake.
