This deeply concentrated Thorn based on Merlot from The Prisoner Wine Company xpresses classic Napa Valley flavors of ripe plum and dried cherry. Its dark ruby hue is complemented by subtle notes of baking spices, vanilla bean, and mocha. On the palate, intense flavors of blackberry and cola lead to a full-bodied, velvety texture, which is well balanced with a long, lively finish.
