The Prisoner

Last night we had a bottle of 2005 Orin Swift "The Prisoner" ... it was very good and had gotten a decent amount of press from the usual sources. It was obviously a zinfandel blend with a decent amount of dark fruits on the nose and palate (plum, blackberry). The finish was a little short. I think it will hold its structure for another year or two though. It cost me around $30 for the bottle, I think there are better deals out there that are more my style.
