Gehricke Cabernet Sauvignon

Gehricke Cabernet Sauvignon

Price range: $34.98 through $49.98

The wine presents a profound deep purple hue and a bouquet of rich berry jam and black cherry, underscored by notes of prune and baking spices. A subtle herbal quality adds complexity, and a buttery undertone rounds out the aromatics. On the palate, this Cabernet Sauvignon reveals a juicy, earthy character with a distinctive tart red fruit profile, reminiscent of underripe cherry, and intriguing layers of leather and dark chocolate. The finish is both soft and slightly grippy, providing a velvety texture. The wine’s structure suggests it will age gracefully over time.

Pair this juicy wine with aged cheeses, cured meats, braised short ribs, herb-crusted lamb with mushroom risotto, beef Wellington, or a rich flourless chocolate cake.

GEHRICKE


Located on the easter edge of the Russian River Valley crossing over into Chalk Hill, the Chalk Ridge Vineyard showcases Clone 4 chardonnay vines that were planted in 1989. The soil is a combination of silt and loam, the optimal balance for excellent drainage. The 2016 growing season in Sonoma County started with a wet December and January, which helped to ease the drought. The entire ripening season enjoyed cooler than average daytime highs and cold nights–perfect conditions for complex wines. The fruit was hand-picked and transported back to the winery to be whole cluster pressed and transferred into barrel for a secondary 100% malolactic fermentation to add creaminess. Finally, the wine was barrel aged sur lees in 50% new French oak for 18 months.
