What reviewers say
“Enjoyed this with, and as a gift from, Dalia and Scott, on February 25, 2023. This was absolute castor oil; tough to drink. One of the worst wines I have ever had in my life. Keeping this up there as a joke until one of them texts me. In reality, it was good.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
From California in the United States, The Prisoner Saldo Red Blend is a red. It blends Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petite Sirah and Shiraz Syrah.
The cohort it is ranked inside holds 1,156 American reds. 590 Vivino reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, and those are the ones the calibrated score reads; a separate, broader pool of 599 reviewers with at least two ratings each feeds the raw-average track.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.
- Global percentile
- Where The Prisoner Saldo Red Blend lands against every wine we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — wines of the same type from the same country. A Chilean red is judged against Chilean reds, not against Champagne. Ranked against Red · United States (1,156 wines).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 590.
