In a world where Napa Valley Cabernet is often over $100, and Oakville Cabernet even more expensive, Groth continues to produce one of the absolute best deals in the region. For the price and quality, there’s practically nothing that can match this wine, especially when you factor in a 95-point score from a top publication. This bottling combines Groth's estate-grown fruit with fruit from neighboring vineyards with whom they have long-term contracts. The wine is beautifully proportioned, showing lush dark fruit, blackberry, dark cherry, hints of espresso bean, cocoa powder, and toasty oak. Ripe, plush tannins make this wine approachable and easy to pop and pour for just about any occasion. A remarkably complete, delicious, and polished Cabernet for a more-than-fair price. Bravo, Groth!
