"Reminiscent of so many of the big Zin-Cab-Syrah blended wines from California. Its juicy, perfect with a steak, all the people that like Orin-Swift The Prisoner, and things of that nature, this is your style."

Gary Vaynerchuk - Winelibrary TV

"While the blend is very similar, the wine is a bit more elegant and livelier than 'the prisoner' it's certainly a red I would easily recommend."

“This Orin Swift "The Prisoner"-esqe wine is a bold, juicy rich, gushy red wine that goes down a little too easy. With loads of slightly jammy berries/cherries, tobacco, cinnamon, licorice, clove vanilla and espresso flavors, this is 21st Century Wine Hedonism!
Slam-dunk-good.”

Dan Dawson - Back Room Wines

"This wine will give Prisoner a run for its money, as it is in the same style (blend-wise), but it is a better quality product."

Frank Melis - Golden Gate Wine Cellars

_______

“Freshly uncorked this wine is clearly complex, each layer is pleasantly received and the wine exhibits subtle tannins and a medium body. The flavors flow smoothly one to another in ascending order. Ever present vanilla and all spice, black berries and cherry, mocha and leather dryness overcoming slight detection of residual sugar.
4 out of 5 stars when decanted.”

Roland Hankerson - Wine Spectrum
