Groth Cabernet Sauvignon Nappa Valley

This Oakville Cabernet from prestigious Groth displays classic Napa Valley character with layered complexity. Black raspberry, blueberry, and brief brioche aromas engage immediately. The full-bodied palate expresses red currant and tart cherry with fine melted tannins providing structure. Black spice, anise, and wet stone add sophistication. Cedar, vanilla, and dried herbs provide elegant depth.

Nose: Captivating aromatics of black raspberry, blueberry cream pie, and brioche emerge alongside black spice, anise, and wet stone. Red currant and tart cherry notes layer beautifully. The bouquet suggests quality fruit and careful production throughout the vintage.

Palate: Full-bodied with creamy, lush texture revealing concentration and fine-grained tannins. Red fruit dominates with layered notes of black currant and raspberry interplaying with bright fruit. Melted tannins provide grip without harshness.
