2016 Gehricke Cabernet SauvignonKnights Valley more |
12/28/2021 - corkcellar Likes this wine: 92 pointsVery tight, much menthol immediately upon opening. Sampled over 3+ hr decant. At hour 3 this wine was peaking. This Knite's Valley fruit was dead-on with long finish. First exposure to this wine maker - will be on the look out for more. |
