BLINDFOLD
This creative white blend, from The Prisoner Wine Company, begins with a base of Chardonnay, fleshed out with aromatic varietals like Roussanne, Viognier, Grenache Blanc, Chenin Blanc and Marsanne. Complex and intriguing, this wine offers a nose of honeysuckle and grilled stone fruit. Th palate is rich and creamy, but is balanced by a fresh acidity. Flavors of toasted hazelnut, citrus zest and creme brulee carry you into a soft, mineral driven finish.

SALDO
Saldo is The Prisoner Wine Company’s answer to the classic California Zinfandel. It is sourced from old vine, dry farmed vineyards, producing concentrated complex fruit. Deeply colored with aromas of blackberry, plum and clove, this wine maintains a balanced, mouthwatering acidity. The palate is velvety and full with flavors of sweet chocolate, ripe cherry and vanilla lingering into the finish.

MERCER MERLOT
This Merlot is elegant, yet powerful. It opens with notes of ripe cherries and blackberries underscored by hints of warm baking spice. The palate is full and round, supported by velvety tannins and a balanced acidity that makes this an excellent dinner companion.

MERCER CABERNET SAUVIGNON
Sourced from Mercer’s estate vineyards in the Horse Heaven Hills appellation of southern Washington, this Cabernet offers a juicy nose of blueberry, plum and blackberry jam. This lush fruitiness is complemented by rich notes of tobacco, vanilla and caramel. The palate is sleek and velvety with additional jammy fruit and a hint of dried mint on the finish.
