| A REPEAT of the 2022 (**+) that was released on April 27, 2024 at $33.95. This multi-regional new California blend is approximately 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Petite Sirah, 5% Petit Verdot, 2% Malbec and 5% Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Tannat has very little to do with any Cab Sauv style that is produced elsewhere in the world, especially in France at the $30 mark. That’s not to say that it’s bad, it’s just different and stylistically unexpected. In fact, it’s an easy to drink, very faintly off-dry, wide-appeal, fruity red blend that lots of people will enjoy. Very deep purple-ruby in colour, it has a very fruity nose focused on plummy, black cherry fruit along with some cedary notes. It’s just off-dry and medium to medium-full bodied with smooth, juicy, ripe, plummy, black cherry and raspberry fruit flavours plus a lingering, somewhat spicy, cedary finish. Aged 9 months in oak (10% new) 85% American and 15% French. It has 14.7% alcohol and 3.7 g/L residual sugar with lot number 231201 on the lower part of the glass bottle. |

| TASTING NOTE: The Prisoner's Unshackled is a blend of cabernet sauvignon, malbec, petite sirah, syrah and merlot, with a youthful, juicy disposition despite an abv of 14.5% . One of the most sippable labels in the portfolio, devoid of highly confected oak spice and features supple tannins and a modicum of freshness. Very good concentration and length. Tasted April 2024.
