The Top 100 Prisoner Has Arrived…
#47 on Wine Spectator's Top 100 of 2009: 2007 Orin Swift the Prisoner ($34.99)
Winemaker Dave Phinney has a knack for sourcing great fruit from great vineyards and combining them in a way that offers something unexpected and unique. The 2007 Prisoner from Napa Valley ($34.99) combines five grape varietals and is the third vintage of this wine to achieve Top 100 status (2003 and 2005 were the previous two). The core of this wine is Tofanelli Vineyard Zinfandel and Charbono. Tofanelli’s vineyards are organically farmed and of significant age and provide exceptional concentrated fruit. Quantities are quite limited of 2007 so this may be a bit of a last call.
Wine Spectator scored the Prisoner 92 Points. Have you tried it? Tell us what you think.
