A blend of 65% Valdigue with traces of Carignan and Petite Sirah. This is The Prisoner for hipsters. It’s all herbs and hay, black olives, and ample and lovely brambly red fruit with more black olive, liquorice and Indian spices on the palate that has an almost Pinot Noir-like weight but with the depth of flavour of a Napa Cabernet, framed by rich, woody tannins and intriguing herb-floral spices on the finish. The name is a reference to the proto-Peacoat long-ago Sailors wore. It was also the nickname of the winery that owner Michael Cruse purchased after he’d left Merryvale.
