Mission Codename No Jailbird!
An obvious, humorous, in-your-face assault on the wildly popular wine, The Prisoner, this wine managed to captivate our hearts - and our senses. If you like The Prisoner (a great wine in its own right), we think that you will love The Fugitive. After all, isn’t it better to be a Fugitive than a Prisoner?
This is another outstanding wine from our friends at Truett-Hurst Winery. We wouldn’t expect any less from winemaking phenom, Virginia Marie Lambrix. Her 2011 Fugitive Red Blend, from Dry Creek Valley, is a brand new release for the winery and we were lucky enough to get our hands on it first!
Our tasting panel was instantly impressed with this food-friendly, budget-friendly, full bodied red blend. This genius blend embodies the best varietals of the Dry Creek Valley, including Petite Sirah, Syrah, and Zinfandel. Fruit driven, bold and spicy, with an ultra-smooth finish, this wine easily gets our heartiest recommendation.
As a young 2011 vintage we can’t help but imagine the potential this bright, youthful wine has. Enjoy a few bottle now, but we also highly recommend that you harbor this particular Fugitive for the next few years!
