Groth Oakville Napa Cabernet 2020 Rated 93DM

Product Description

Decanter Magazine Review
Rated 93
A very lovely and elegant expression of Oakville Cabernet from Groth, which was able to harvest the fruit that comprises this cuvee before the Glass Fire of 27 September. It's a compact, tight-knit, gorgeously balanced Cabernet that is reticent upon opening but with air reveals a wealth of crunchy red berry fruit, dusty minerals, cedarwood and capsicum. Medium-bodied with juicy red cherry, boysenberry, dark chocolate and sandalwood. Intricate fine-grained tannins and blood orange acidity make for a compelling and balanced red - best from 2024. Drinking Window: 2024-2035.

Wine Tasting Notes
The Groth Oakville Napa Cabernet is an attractive ruby-garnet color that is strikingly intense. When swirled in the glass, it unleashes an array of aromas. The initial blueberry and fresh blackberry aromas are joined with rose petal, black tea, cigar box and baking spices. When tasting the wine, the texture is immediately noteworthy. It is at the same time extremely soft but also rich and balanced. Flavors of toast and vanilla mingle with blackberry and tart red currant, then transition to a juicy and long finish.

Menu suggestion: Wood-grilled flat iron steak with caramelized root vegetables pairs beautifully with this wine. It is also a delicious choice with a cacio e pepe pasta. The cheese and black pepper are a perfect match to the richness of the Cabernet.
