Tasting Notes For The Prisoner Wine Company Derange 2017

Derange Napa Valley Red Wine is a delicious red blend full of flavors and aromas of black cherry, clove spice, blackberry cobbler and vanilla toast.

This exceptional California red wine features hand-picked cabernet sauvignon grapes for structure and density, while petite sirah provides mid-palate richness and concentration. Merlot grapes offer juiciness and acidity, and syrah adds earthiness, depth, and a touch of spice. Zinfandel brings softness that ties all the varietals together.

After going through stainless steel and malolactic fermentation, the blend is barrel aged in French oak casks for 18 months, giving it a smooth and velvety texture with a balanced acidity. The result is a wine that fills the palate with soft tannins and a rich, full-bodied flavor profile.

When storing Derange Napa Valley Red Wine, it’s best to keep it at room temperature to preserve its quality. Before serving, chill the wine in the refrigerator for 30 to 60 minutes to bring out its flavors and aromas.
