Tasting: Rich and complex with notes of ripe pear, golden apple, and tropical fruit. Hints of vanilla, toasted oak, and subtle butterscotch. Full-bodied with a creamy texture, balanced acidity, and a long, luxurious finish.
Pairing: Excellent with grilled lobster, roasted chicken with herbs, creamy pasta dishes, or aged Comté cheese.
Producer: The Prisoner Wine Company, founded by Dave Phinney in 2000, initially gained fame for its bold red blend. Since then, the brand has expanded its portfolio to include other varietals, including this Carneros Chardonnay. Known for their innovative approach to winemaking, The Prisoner challenges conventional wisdom while respecting traditional techniques. This Chardonnay is crafted from grapes sourced from the cool-climate Carneros region, straddling both Napa and Sonoma counties. The wine undergoes partial malolactic fermentation and is aged in a combination of French and American oak barrels, resulting in a harmonious balance of fruit, oak, and acidity. The 2021 vintage showcases The Prisoner's commitment to producing wines of depth and character that push the boundaries of California winemaking.
