2015 GROTH RESERVE OAKVILLE CABERNET SAUVIGNON (1.5L) MAGNUM "Groth’s Reserve Block runs north from Oakville Cross Road along the eastern bank of Conn Creek, just under 28 acres replanted in 1999 and 2001. The vines produced a bold, luscious beauty in 2015, defining Oakville in its rich dimensions, held in check by proper harmonies in the tannins (think Presbyterian church music, clear and resolute). The fresh fruit flavors of blueberries and plums have exceptional length, ample and energized, while the warmth of the wine begins to show after several days open. Lovely to drink on release, this should develop well over the next several years." 94 Points “The deep crimson color of this wine hints at its intensity. The palate is rich and concentrated yet elegant with aromas and flavors of black cherry and dark berry fruit, complemented by notes of smoke and sweet spice leading to a satisfying finish that goes on for days.”
