@Carter Pelham : You’ll have a great time. We did a RM tasting a little over a year ago and loved trying all the wines side by side. I’ve been a fan of their wines for a while, and each vintage reinforces that!
Did you get to check out his new production in Calistoga yet?
@Joshua Fisher : Not yet. They were still finishing up when we were last out there. I’ll be back out the first week of Sept, so might stop by.

Very nicely made. Balanced and easy to drink. Young. Given a few years, I’m hoping for added dimension. — 8 days ago

Groth Vineyards & Winery
Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon 2016
Great with a backyard steak. Medium bodied. Very drinkable now... but I’ve had some that do bring on added dimensions when put away. Nose was soft, but hard to compete with the outdoors. — 15 days ago

WNH “TRB” tasting.
I let this bottle decant for three hours and then fully decant for 3hrs (pulling from the decanter the last two hours). The bulk of that time I was hit with really pure and ripe fruits but ending with a wall of tannin. Gorgeously aromatic with layers of the entire fruit spectrum…red, blue and black berries, sandalwood, and espresso. The mid palate here is quite fantastic in how deep it is while still having good acidity to keep it vibrant. Violets, dark chocolate, mixed Berry compote and baking spices all surrounded by a savory graphite type note. I saved two glasses for the following day and it turned very silky and seemed to be a very beautiful expression of Oakville.
If opening now, decant 4-6hrs, or hold another 3+yrs. — 10 days ago
