The Prisoner Wine Co. Unshackled Red Blend - Bundle & Save

This structured and 'muscular' red wine originates from the United States, crafted from choice vineyard sites across premier California wine regions, including the North Coast and Central Coast. Produced by the rebellious and iconic Prisoner Wine Company, "Unshackled" was created to break free from traditional winemaking constraints and deliver a bold, modern, and fruit-forward expression. The Prisoner Wine Company operates under an innovative, blend-focused winemaking philosophy that prioritizes structural opulence, lush fruit intensity, and immediate crowd-pleasing accessibility. Sourced from diverse microclimates featuring gravelly loam and clay-rich alluvial soils, the vines experience warm, sun-filled California days balanced by evening coastal breezes, enabling the multi-varietal grapes to achieve full phenolic maturity, rich concentration, and smooth, velvety tannins.

Wine Description

The Prisoner Wine Co. Unshackled Red Blend presents an opaque, deep ruby-purple appearance in the glass with rich violet glints at the rim. Its sensory profile is exceptionally bold, deep, and high-toned, offering a plush, aromatic symphony of ripe black fruits and warm bakery spices. The bouquet opens with a generous display of crushed blackberries, blueberry compote, and dark plum reduction, seamlessly layered with complex underlays of sweet vanilla bean, milk chocolate, toasted oak, dried lavender, and a subtle touch of black pepper. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, round, and texturally luxurious, showcasing a dense, succulent core of dark orchard fruits, cassis, and cocoa nibs. It is characterized by its outstanding fruit purity and a balanced, supple acidity that prevents the rich mid-palate extract from feeling heavy. The mouthfeel is broad, velvety, and approachable, framed by smooth, polished tannins that glide into a long, satisfying finish accented by lingering notes of toasted cedar, baking spice, and sweet dark berry jam.
