Unshackled Cabernet Sauvignon
Country: United States Region: California
Varietal: Zinfandel
Colour: Red Style: Dry
Producer: The Prisoner Wine Company
Description :
Unshackled Cabernet Sauvignon from The Prisoner Wine Company is a really appealing, modern Californian red: bold, generous, fruit-driven and designed to be thoroughly enjoyed rather than approached too seriously.
It is particularly interesting because it comes from the team behind The Prisoner, one of California's best-known premium wine brands. Unshackled takes a slightly more adventurous approach to Cabernet Sauvignon, blending grapes from different Californian regions and varieties to create a richer, more approachable style.
