The Prisoner Red 2022

"Crafted with a commitment to organic practices, the Pax Grenache Mourvedre Syrah 2021 blends 40% Grenache, 40% Mourvedre, and 20% Syrah, showcasing the best of Alder Springs and Halcon Vineyards. Its 100% whole cluster fermentation and aging in concrete and neutral French oak 500L Puncheons contribute to its vibrant character. With a restrained 13.5% abv and free SO2 at 20ppm, this wine delivers a harmonious balance of fruit purity and subtle complexity." —winemaker

"At first glance, the 2022 Eight Years in the Desert looks to be almost black, but after closer inspection, a dark crimson starts to shine through with a tinge of purple on the rim. The nose is rife with notes of ripe blueberry, black plum, wild raspberry, espresso bean, sweet oak and a hint of crème de menthe and cedar. The entry is akin to walking through a tunnel of velvet walls with blackberry jam, reduced strawberry and a touch of rhubarb. Bright acidity throughout the palate, the wine closes with round, ripe tannins, fresh pluot and dark chocolate." —winemaker

"The Rocks speak out loud... Black plum, grilled meat, evergreen forest, and pencil shavings whisper in delight. Fresh herbs, black cherry, and clove. Seamless, long, and satisfying. A very special Roma." —winemaker

Blend: 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Syrah

"Showcasing a classic layering of red and dark fruits, our 2020 D2 is built upon a softer, approachable structure and style that allow for this wine to be so reliable to be enjoyed in its youth. Whiffs of dried cranberry, black cherry, vanilla bean, and lavender flower flow into a palate filled with flavors reminiscent of milk chocolate, green peppercorn, and fresh ground nutmeg. Many of the state’s most heralded sites provide pure fruit and savory characteristics here, with toasty oak influence deftly supporting in the background." —winemaker

Blend: 61% Merlot, 27% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Cabernet Franc, 4% Petit Verdot

"The 2017 Rowen red blend is a lush and elegant wine consisting of wonderful high elevation, mountain fruit. The wine has aromas of dark cherries, blackberries and sweet toasted oak from the co-fermented Viognier. On the palate, the wine is balanced and structured from the Cabernet Sauvignon with notes of juicy cassis, light floral and sweet vanilla. Co-fermenting the Syrah with the Viognier is a classic Northern Rhone technique which adds an exotic floral element to the finished wine as well as a rounder 2017 red wine mouthfeel." —winemaker

"The 2019 D2 aromas dance effortlessly between savory and dried fruit characteristics. Cranberries, roasted coffee beans, cassis and burnt orange are highlighted by deep, rich barrel tones of nutmeg, vanilla bean, dark chocolate and clove. As the wine develops in the glass, the fruit profile shifts between red and dark fruits, a trademark of D2 that we love. An inviting freshness and pronounced herbal quality on the palate leads to a structure that is refined despite the wine's youth. Cellar for 15+ years." —winemaker
