Tasting Notes

96 Wine Spectator
This delivers a very tightly focused, almost piercing beam of cassis, raspberry coulis and bitter cherry fruit, scored with singed alder and iron notes. Incense and tobacco details chime in on the finish. Long and refined, with the fruit leaving a sweet and mouthwatering echo. Best from 2022 through 2038.

COMMENTARY: The 2016 Groth Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is complete from start to finish. Its layered and slightly elevated textures on the palate provide an outstanding experience. TASTING NOTES: This wine shines with pleasing black fruit and slight oaky notes in its aromas and flavors. Enjoy with roast leg of lamb. (Tasted: February 21, 2020, Napa, CA)

With 9% Merlot in the blend, this wine was given 22 months in 100% new French oak and is built to last. Softly layered in cassis, it shows lifted acidity and graceful, firm tannins. Spicy nutmeg and clove season the fruit, adding length and complexity. Enjoyed 2026–2031

93 James Suckling
This offers attractive, ripe black-cherry and plum aromas, leading to a palate that has a plush, fleshy and supple array of smooth, soft and ripe blackcurrant flavors. This has more to come. Try from 2020.
