2021 Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon
Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot · California, Napa Valley · USA
Producer Notes
The 40th vintage of Groth's Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon is a tribute to co-founder Judith Mae Groth. This deep and dense garnet-hued wine opens with macerated blackberry aromas intertwined with freshly baked graham cracker crust. Layers of complexity unfold with the addition of cocoa nibs, hibiscus tea, hints of poppy seed and an underlying presence of graphite, adding depth and sophistication. On the palate, bright and refreshing notes of dark fruit, plum, wild cherry, and fresh strawberry come to the forefront. The wine finishes with fine, grippy tannins, offering structure and a lively, energetic experience, making it an excellent food companion for roasted meats or rich bolognese.
