Tasting Notes For The Prisoner Wine Company Cuttings Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

This wine showcases a deep ruby color and boasts aromas of fresh roasted coffee, black currant, vanilla bean, brown spice, and wild berries. On the palate, the wine is deliciously smooth and reveals flavors of ripe blueberry, dark cherry, and cocoa. The tannins are soft and velvety, leading to a long, luxurious finish that lingers on the tongue. Enjoy this full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon with your favorite steak, roast beef, or hearty pasta dish for a truly elevated dining experience.

Inspired by the age-old method of using cuttings from idyllic sites for the propagation of new vines, this Cabernet Sauvignon showcases some of our favorite hillside vineyards. Cuttings combines the deep, intense flavor of Cabernet Sauvignon with the structure and richness of Petite Sirah and Syrah. A small amount of Zinfandel adds a nice layer of complexity and spiciness.

Blend: 80% Cabernet Sauvignon; 20% Blend of Petite Sirah, Syrah, and Zinfandel

Critic Ratings

Wine Spectator Review – Issue Jun 30, 2021 – Rated 92:Sleek in feel and restrained in profile, with subtle black tea and anise notes leading to a very focused core of cherry and plum purée flavors. A flash of apple wood appears on the finish. Nicely done. Drink now through 2028. 22,000 cases made. — JMWine Enthusiast Review – Published 3/1/2021 – Rated 90:A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petite Sirah, Syrah and Zinfandel, this is as hearty and full bodied as one might expect from the producer. Chewy in currant, cassis and savory earth, it is richly woven and layered with an unctuous quality to its big-boned, hearty style. VIRGINIE BOONE
