2023 SOLDER GSM NAPA VALLEY

Napa Valley • 2023 Vintage

Old-World elegance meets New-World taste with this blend of Grenache, Mourvèdre and Syrah – a contemporary classic. Three grapes joined together; flavor soldered into a blend to provoke the palate. 

On the nose, hints of ripe blueberry, blackberry, Provencal herbs, cola and hints of sweet spice lead the way. Flavors are bursting on the palate … ripe dark fruits, with bright acid and texture holding tension in the wine and carrying through to a long-balanced finish. The long vintage allowed for us to make easy and precise picking decisions to bring signature soft, but structured balance to the mouthfeel. 

Grenache brings texture and red fruit, Syrah brings a bit of brine and meat with fresh blueberries and a rich mid palate while Mourvèdre brings the dark red fruit and earth. This is a wine we're very proud to offer. An ode to old world elegance with a density that brings the Prisoner signature.

The long vintage allowed for us to make easy and precise picking decisions to bring signature soft, but stuctured balance to the mouthfeel to all the wines in 2023. Tannins were are bit big in 2023 that lead to adjustments in cap management to include more oxygen during pumpovers, and more frequent, but short pumpovers to ensure proper extraction to acheive our desired balance. Each vineyard block was held in tank separate through to barreling until March when lots and barrels were selected selected. We racked to blend and return to barrels for a couple more months to acheive perfect mouthfeel. The wine was aged in a mix of French puncheons and barrique barrels (~35% new) for 10 months before bottling.

Redefining the art of the blend

Inspired by the original red blend first made by Italian immigrants who settled in Napa Valley, this expressive wine carries that spirit forward through an unexpected mix of varietals and a distinctly modern point of view.

GSM Lovers will be impressed

"This Napa GSM is bold, polished, and crowd-pleasing. I brought to a client meal, and everyone enjoyed it. The nose shows ripe blackberry, blueberry, and hints of herbs and warm spice. On the palate, it’s juicy and plush. The tannins are smooth. I have more Prisoner Wine to try, but this is on the buy-again list."

Club

"I suggest a club consisting of 24 bottles per calendar year. Current club distinctions based on release periods are awkward and not conducive to customer activity."
