Gehricke 2016 Petite Sirah, Sonoma Valley
This stunning, darkly hued red exudes scents of violets, bittersweet dark chocolate, and plum brandy. Graphite and dried violets merge with dusted cocoa on the palate, which finishes on an intense licorice-blackberry note. A vivacious acidity makes this a keenly perfect wine for food pairing; aged 18 months in French and Hungarian oak, it’s impeccably balanced, even with an ABV of 15.5%. Only 235 cases were made. 93
