Groth Vineyards & Winery
Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon
Oakville, Napa Valley, California, USA
Tough vintage. Has turned toward a Bordeaux profile in its aging with cassis, leather and mint. Tannins have really evaporated. Mildly pleasing

Grippy tannins, smooth and long finish. Classic Napa in my book. Groth always reliable.

Groth Vineyards & Winery is a family owned winery producing Napa Valley wines since 1982, sustainably farming 121 acres of vineyards. Dark Ruby with aromas of dark fruit and smoky spice. On the palate flavors of black cherry and plums with a touch of tobacco and pepper spice. Firm tannins on this full body wine, long finish ending with fruit and toasty oak notes, needs more time to develop and soften. Tasting Sample.

The wine is full bodied vibrant mouthfeel with medium + acidity and medium + fine grippy tannins that move into a wonderful long black fruit spicy finish. Have a great week ahead and please be safe and healthy. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷

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.

balanced, smooth and long. Pairs well with in-n-out double double.
