The Prisoner Cab Sauvignon

THE PRISONER CAB SAUVIGNON

Both The Prisoner Wine Company's brand name and their namesake wine, The Prisoner, are inspired by early 1800s Spanish artist Francisco de Goya's sketch "Le Petit Prisoner," part of a series of works protesting the brutal injustice of the Spanish War of Independence. This timeless piece of art continues to inspire the company's vision and mission. Pledging never to be complacent or restricted by tradition, and to encourage creative expression as a means to empower, The Prisoner Wine Company has stood with the fight against racism, mass incarceration, and systematic oppression of black communities. They are committed to education, diversity, and inclusive environments where all employees and business partners feel safe, respected, and valued. When their first wine, The Prisoner, was released in the late 1990s as a complex blend of some of California's best and most unusual grape varieties, it swiftly and permanently changed the perception of red blend wine. Since then, their offerings have grown to a variety of rule-bending blends with provocative label designs, recognized by fans and wine critics alike as one of the most bold and innovative wine brands in the market, leading the resurgence of California luxury red blends and earning "cult" wine status. Today, Director of Winemaking Chrissy Wittmann and her team work with more than 100 growers in Northern California, bringing together exceptional fruit to produce a family of intriguing wines unrestricted by tradition.
