Drank the wine over 72 hours, blackberry and blueberry on the palate throughout. Solid but sweet tannin supports the fruit for an enjoyable experience though for the price I would have liked more pizzazz. Drink it next 5 years for best results. (93 views) | | | Tasted by Francophile1 on 4/2/2024 & rated 86 points: Rustic, lean, austere and trying too hard to be like Bordeaux. Uninteresting. PnP.but consumed over two hours. (369 views) | | | Tasted by karanan on 3/23/2024 & rated 91 points: The wine looks ruby colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle. It tastes like blackberry and black currant (cassis). The body is medium/full. Bright texture with medium finish. Medium acidity. Could benefit from a few more years of cellaring. (374 views) | | | Tasted by Decanting Queen on 1/29/2024 & rated 89 points: BTG at a steakhouse. Good choice. Drinking well, nice structure, nice fruit, not overly jammy. But not overly complex either. (1286 views) | | | Tasted by econnertx on 12/23/2023 & rated 91 points: magnificnet cab expression. Not overly jammy, but still bold mushroom and cherry currant spice to it. Solid purple and rich, with good legs (949 views) | | | Tasted by JoeDwine on 11/24/2023 & rated 89 points: Just too soon…..
Blueberry and currants mainly red but some cassis.
Sour and sweet but not everything nice.still very primary.
Needs time? (1029 views) | | | Tasted by Cuellar's Cellar on 9/26/2023 & rated 91 points: Great wine. Needs some decanting. Drank over 2 nights. nice sark plum fruit wine. some smokiness, light tobacco. Cheers (1534 views) | | | Tasted by Brolawa on 9/12/2023: X1. Too young. High acid. Not much character. Michelle’s in SV. (1339 views) | | | Tasted by Cuellar's Cellar on 9/11/2023 & rated 91 points: Great wine. earthy, has a bit of an old world style. med tannins. Very drinkable today. Cheers (1269 views) | | | Tasted by AGELVIS on 8/26/2023 & rated 89 points: Served by the glass in United Polaris cabin from San Francisco to Sydney. Black cherry and cream filled vanilla wafer. Smooth, dry palate, with mouth coating acidity. Firm tannins on the medium long finish.
Extracted and somewhat generic. Nonetheless, it’s not bad for airplane wine. I’m sure this would be better on the ground. Altitude absolutely diminishes most wine. (1560 views) | | | Tasted by mjm226 on 8/4/2023 & rated 91 points: Well integrated tannins. Smooth throughout. Decanted for 30 min and it was ready to go. Will pick up more (795 views) | | | Tasted by JT4 on 6/18/2023: Excellent Oakville Napa Valley cab (620 views) | | | Tasted by benjamin96 on 6/3/2023 & rated 90 points: Bouche tendre, fruite, boise, devrait bien vieillir (651 views) | | | Tasted by james.williams5599@gmail.com on 5/28/2023 & rated 90 points: Delicious! Wonderful with grilled steak ! (585 views) | | | Tasted by Joshvoulters on 5/11/2023 & rated 91 points: Oakville AVA tasting (67 Pall Mall): A bit sweet for my preference but it hits all the right notes for a wine of this style. Raspberry, fig, blackberries, great acidity and a satisfying roughness and depth to the tannins. Spherical on the palate, good length to the finish. (934 views) | | | Tasted by Robwild on 4/24/2023 & rated 92 points: Full bodied and bold. Well balanced and supple. Dark fruits with cherries and plums, vanilla and oak. another wonderful wine form Oakville. Dinking nicely now and for many years to come. (534 views) | | | Tasted by Alexander Smith on 5/6/2022 & rated 93 points: For me this is a big step up from the 2016 vintage, this shows notes of dark red berries, plums ,cherries cacao and unsmoked tobacco. The palate is full bodied and vibrant with restrained dark fruit, all spice, savoury undertone, bitter chocolate, velvety mid-palate and a long spicy finish. (1593 views) |

| Groth Producer website
Dennis and Judy Groth purchased the 121 acre Oakcross Vineyard in the Oakville appellation in 1981. The vineyard was originally owned by Justin Meyer and Ray Duncan who planted the estate with some of the finest Cabernet Sauvignon vines and which they included in their wines from the 1970s vintages. In 1985, after the Groths moved permanently to the Napa Valley, Groth Winery was founded and began producing what have become some of the finest Cabernet Sauvignons coming from the Napa Valley. Groth's 1985 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon received the distinction of a 100 point rating from Robert Parker which launched the label into the list of top wineries in Napa. Dennis Groth has served as President of the Napa Valley Vintners Association and Chairman of the Wine Institute and continues to produce award-winning, highly rated Cabernets.Cabernet SauvignonCabernet Sauvignon is probably the most famous red wine grape variety on Earth. It is rivaled in this regard only by its Bordeaux stablemate Merlot, and its opposite number in Burgundy, Pinot Noir. From its origins in Bordeaux, Cabernet has successfully spread to almost every winegrowing country in the world. It is now the key grape variety in many first-rate New World wine regions, most notably Napa Valley, Coonawarra and Maipo Valley. Wherever they come from, Cabernet Sauvignon wines always seem to demonstrate a handful of common character traits: deep color, good tannin structure, moderate acidity and aromas of blackcurrant, tomato leaf, dark spices and cedarwood.
Used as frequently in blends as in varietal wines, Cabernet Sauvignon has a large number of common blending partners. Apart from the obvious Merlot and Cabernet Franc, the most prevalent of these are Malbec, Petit Verdot and Carmenere (the ingredients of a classic Bordeaux Blend), Shiraz (in Australia's favorite blend) and in Spain and South America, a Cabernet – Tempranillo blend is now commonplace. Even the bold Tannat-based wines of Madiran are now generally softened with Cabernet SauvignonUSAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.California2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson Napa Valley Napa Valley Wineries and Wine (Napa Valley Vintners)Oakville |
