Process & Profile
The Prisoner Pinot Noir showcases the brand’s bold, modern style through a classic varietal. Sourced from premier vineyards across California’s cool-climate regions—including Sonoma Coast and Santa Barbara—the wine is crafted with precision to emphasize richness, ripe fruit, and elegance. It undergoes fermentation in stainless steel and is aged in a mix of French and American oak, some new, to add complexity and structure without overpowering the fruit.
