Williams – and the rest of the team for their focused work. The wine, however, speaks volumes: It’s very good and I applaud the “W” women – Ms.
If there’s a message to be had, I’m lost. (Other popular wines are named The Prisoner Red Blend and The Snitch Chardonnay.)īlindfold White is another stark label: It shows a “revolutionary or patriot” (?) chained to a post, head down and blindfolded. brands, you’d realize that either a prison warden, criminal justice activist, or Nelson Mandela might be suggesting the names. If you are familiar with Prisoner Wine Co. The label is small – like the size of matchbook – black-and-white, and carries the lower-case words “eternally silenced.” What does it mean? I don’t know. I got the impression of a bad hombre or desperado, because the look certainly wasn’t someone from the Silent Majority. The wax drapes over a man’s disheveled face where only the nose and mouth is exposed. PWC wines are marketed to grab your attention and crafted to please your palate.Įternally Silenced is wrapped in a black wax that covers nearly 65 percent of the bottle. Overall, there are 13 North Coast and Central Coast vineyards that supply grapes – and a multitude of viticultural diversity – to PWC.Įternally Silenced is one of two PWC wines I sampled recently The other is the spicy white Blindfold. Jack and Kathy Pagendarm own Korte Ranch in St Helena, a family-run operation that was launched more than a 100 years ago. There’s Bruno Solari and his four siblings at Solari Family Vineyard in Calistoga they’ve been supplying Zinfandel to PWC since 2005. The winery contracts with long-time family farmers who respect the land and value their grapes. which sources grapes throughout California to craft its growing portfolio of quality wines.Īccessing quality fruit is key to PWC operations, since the winery does not own a single vineyard. This is another original from The Prisoner Wine Co.
Choice sirloin steak with Bernaise sauce and asparagus paired exquisitely with Eternally Silenced. Whatever, director of winemaker Chrissy Whitmann and winemaker Niki Williams certainly made the grapes do the talking.
Maybe it was the excellent growing season in Napa Valley and surrounding appellations that contributed the extra oomph. Indeed, Eternally Silenced builds on its 2016 inaugural with brighter character traits, including intense aromatics and flavors. The creators of Eternally Silenced Pinot Noir crow that the California wine will leave drinkers “speechless” but I say the 2017 vintage has found its voice. The second vintage of Eternally Silenced Pinot Noir is a winner for The Prisoner Wine Co.
