GUINIGI

The Prisoner Wine Company 2023 Unshackled Cabernet Sauvignon, California ($22)

This is not just a straight Cab but rather a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Merlot, Malbec, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Franc. It is a bit firmer in texture than the 2023 Unshackled Red Blend, but not by a lot, with slightly darker-toned fruit recalling Bing cherries and dark berries. There’s lots of juicy deliciousness in this for just twenty-two bucks.
