The Prisoner Wine Company is a distinctive and popular winery based in Napa Valley, California, known for its bold and unconventional blends. The winery was established in 2000 by winemaker Dave Phinney with its flagship wine, "The Prisoner," a red blend that quickly gained a cult following due to its unique composition and striking label design. The label features Francisco Goya’s “The Little Prisoner” etching, which reflects the brand's theme of challenging traditional winemaking norms.

"The Prisoner" red blend combines Zinfandel with varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon, Petite Sirah, Syrah, and Charbono, creating a robust, flavorful wine with rich fruit flavors and spicy notes. This blend set the tone for the winery’s approach to crafting wines, which involves using non-traditional blending techniques and sourcing grapes from multiple vineyards across California to achieve complex and distinctive flavor profiles.

Over the years, The Prisoner Wine Company has expanded its portfolio to include other innovative wines such as "Saldo," a Zinfandel, "Cuttings," a Cabernet Sauvignon blend, and "Blindfold," a white blend, among others. Each wine showcases the company’s commitment to producing bold, flavorful, and approachable wines.

The winery has changed ownership a few times and is currently owned by Constellation Brands, which has continued to grow the brand while maintaining its distinctive style and quality. The Prisoner Wine Company remains a standout in the California wine scene for its artistic labels and creative wine blends, appealing to a broad audience of wine enthusiasts looking for something outside the traditional offerings.
