| The label for this wine features The Prisoner, an etching by Francisco de Goya made in 1807. The wine itself, a blend of Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petite Sirah, Syrah and Charbono, is no less bold and striking, and has become a Vintages customer favourite. Expect a bountiful statement of cherry, fig, dark chocolate and clove with lifted raspberry and pomegranate notes. |
