The Prisoner Red Blend was inspired by the wines first made by the Italian immigrants who originally settled in Napa Valley. The Prisoner is now the most recognized red blend, leading the resurgence of interesting blends by incorporating Zinfandel with the unlikely mix of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petite Sirah, Syrah, and Charbono. Bright aromas of ripe raspberry, vanilla, and coconut give way to flavors of fresh and dried blackberry, pomegranate, and vanilla, which linger harmoniously for a smooth and luscious finish.

Blend: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Malbec, Petite Sirah, Charbono

Aroma: Black Cherry, Vanilla, Ripe Plum

Tasting Notes: Blackberry, Cocoa, Baking Spice

Cool coastal influence abounds in this Chardonnay, brimming with fresh energy. Perfumed citrus swirls with pear, crushed almond, and an earthy, wet-stone minerality expressing the region's savory appeal. Juicy citrus on the palate gives way to complex layers of white stone fruit and herbs, while a backbone of vivid acidity carries the wine through a beautifully textured finish.

WINEMAKER NOTES

VINTAGE 
The 2021 vintage gave us beautiful wines by way of a challenge. In the second year of our most recent drought, winter brought only small, infrequent rains on the Sonoma Coast, followed by widely fluctuating early-spring temperatures. The dearth of moisture and mixed weather messages slowed canopy development, and ultimately resulted in smaller clusters. Patience and hopeful perseverance paid off, though, as mild temperatures prevailed through the end of the growing season, encouraging even, optimal ripening. Small berries resulted in lower yields, but when the grapes began hitting the crush pad—slightly earlier than usual in August—the superb quality of the small vintage was clear, in outstanding purity, complex flavors, and dense textures. 

ADDITIONAL NOTES

VINEYARDS 
Together, with our vineyard partners, our Sonoma Coast Chardonnay is a reflection of the unique characteristics of our estates: coastal influence, elevation, topography, and unique soils. To craft this wine, we work with vineyards from like-minded growers that reflect the energy and purity of this coastal and natural region. Some of our long-standing vineyard partners are Anderson-Ross Vineyard, Wildcat Mountain Vineyard, and Bohan Ranch, along with our Camp Meeting Ridge Estate. 

The Tequila Cazadores 100 Year Estate Release is a Limited Edition Reposado developed from agave grown on our property at the Cazadores Distillery in Los Altos de Jalisco – Arandas, MX.

The reposado tequila has a bright gold color from the unique blend of tequila from American oak and new French oak barrels. Tequila Cazadores 100 Year Estate Release has a smooth and sweet taste with a citrus and vanilla finish and an aroma of intense cooked agave with fruity and spicy notes.

DON JUANCHO THE MAN BEHIND OUR LOGO

Don Juan Meléndez (“Don Juancho”) is the legendary figure who inspired the creation of Diplomático.

According to local stories, he was a Mantuano – a local nobleman – passionate for exploring the sources, ingredients, and methods behind the many alluring flavors of rum and other traditional beverages. It is said he became famous for his impressive collection of beverages known as “the Ambassador’s Reserves”, which he was keen to share with his closest friends, guided by his chivalry and authentic personality. Today, Diplomático rums carry Don Juancho’s portrait, and the brand is driven by the passion and values that were his hallmark.
