Groth is a top Oakville producer with a history of excellent wines, including the first domestic 100 point Parker wine, and eight features on the Wine Spectator top 100. Their Cabernet is also one of the most exceptional values in Oakville at around $60. Every time I taste it, It reminds me of what classic Napa Cabernet tastes like, in a way that perfectly expresses the vintage and superior fruit.
The Estate sits on the Northeastern side of the appellation, flanked by paragons Plumpjack, O’Shaughnessy, and Bonny’s Vineyard, and is just a stones-throw from BOND’s St Eden vineyard. Their Oakville Cab includes both Estate fruit and grapes from partner growers in the region with similar flavor characteristics.
Pressed in their state-of-the-art gravity-flow winery, and kept for nearly two years in barrel, Groth’s Oakville Cabernet has evolved beautifully in the bottle over the last three years. The 2015 release has incredible detail and complexity, with a broad presence on the palate and excellent depth.

“Deep, concentrated nose bursting with ripe black fruit concentration and herbal undertones. Fresh fruit palate, with a touch of oak spice and violets.”

“This shows real interest on the nose with fresh blackcurrants, ivy, tea leaf, vanilla, cloves and peppermint. Freshness comes through aplenty on the palate, which is full-bodied with structured if chewy tannins, some pretty acidity and a driven finish. Blend of 85% cabernet sauvignon, 15% merlot. Drink in 2020.”

“Groth’s 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon is a powerful, hearty wine with good depth and density, but very much in the classic, mid-weight Groth style. Dark cherry, pomegranate, smoke, tobacco, menthol, licorice and dried flowers are nicely delineated in this attractive, expressive Cabernet Sauvignon…”

“Aromas of cassis, ripe red cane berries, and warm vanilla beans, along with a hint of cedar draw you in, inviting that first sip. The palate entry is full and lush with juicy black plum, red currant, and a hint of dried cherries. The abundant fine-grained tannins give a full mouthfeel that is complimented by sweet vanilla notes mid-palate, and a bright acidity throughout. Leading into a warm, spicy, and persistent finish.”
