Dave partners with the talented Jim Barbour, who ensures that only the finest grapes make their way into each bottle. These 30-year-old vines, nurtured on the hillside vineyards of Stag's Leap District, produce a wine that is deep, complex, and truly enchanting

The wine is crafted by the one and only Dave Phinney, a true wine legend. Inspired by Robert Mondavi (while at his time working at his vineyard), he founded Orin Swift Cellars in 1998, blending varieties, appellations, and vintages to honor California's winemaking heritage. In 2000, The Prisoner was born, a rebellious and anarchic wine that would soon become a wine enthusiast’s favorite. With this Stags Leap wine, Phinney shows why he is one of the greatest winemakers in the world. This is a luxurious expression of the Stag Leap terroir and puts it up there with the classic and iconic wines of the region.

With its dark ruby glow and tragically expressive aromas of raspberry, Amarena cherry, and cigar box, this wine will make your taste buds dance with joy. The palate is filled with bright redcurrant and ripe red fruits, an elegant touch of molten chocolate cake, and soft tannins that make every sip a delight. The long, indulgent finish, promises an experience that you won't want to end.
