Decanter Magazine Review
Rated 95
The 2022 vintage delivers a beautifully elegant yet structured expression. Its medium-bodied presence is framed by a firm backbone of acidity that supports robust, gritty tannins. Though slightly nervy in early 2024, time will bring greater harmony, softening the tannins and allowing the rich, toasty oak spices, clove, and cedarwood to integrate seamlessly. This is undoubtedly a graceful yet powerful wine destined to impress with patience. Drinking Window: 2025-2045.
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.
