Groth's 40th vintage Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon is a wine that refuses to play it safe. This garnet beauty kicks off with wild blackberry and graham cracker vibes, then surprises you with cocoa, hibiscus, and a whisper of graphite. Sip it and you'll find sour cherry and raspberry dancing across your palate, joined by black currant depth and a cheeky rhubarb tartness. Paprika spice rounds out the party while silky tannins melt into a velvety finish. A playful tribute to co-founder Judith Mae Groth's legacy, this 83% Cabernet Sauvignon blend (with Merlot and Petit Verdot) proves that complexity and fun aren't mutually exclusive.
Rich and luscious aromas of ripe plums and blackberries sprinkled with baking spices carry into flavorful black fruits layered with oak spices. Fine-grained tannins coat the mouth, balanced by juicy acidity that freshens the palate through a long finish. Impressive persistence.
Ripe and with a bit of flash thanks to its glossy toast, this red delivers a violet-accented core of cassis and plum reduction, with black licorice, sweet tobacco and singed alder notes. Solid and steady through the lengthy, polished finish, with a flash of flinty minerality lurking in the background. Drink now through 2040.
