Groth ’40th Anniversary’ Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon
This deep and dense garnet-hued wine opens with macerated blackberry aromas intertwined with freshly baked graham cracker crust. Layers of complexity unfold with the addition of cocoa nibs, hibiscus tea, hints of poppy seed and an underlying presence of graphite, adding depth and sophistication. On the palate, bright and refreshing notes of sour cherry and juicy raspberry take center stage, accompanied by the depth of black currant. A touch of rhubarb introduces a subtle tartness that complements the sweetness of the fruit and paprika notes add a nuanced spiciness to the overall character. The tannins, initially robust, gradually melt away, leaving behind a velvety texture and finish.

The Estate
The 40th vintage of our Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon is a tribute to Groth’s co-founder, Judith Mae Groth. Judy’s influence on the style of Groth wines, the design of our winery and labels, our approach to hospitality and our exacting code of conduct cannot be overestimated.
Wine Making
Fermentation was carried out over a seven-to-10-day period in small, temperature controlled stainless-steel tanks at an average temperature of 90˚ F. After pressing and settling, the wine was transferred to a mix of new and second-fill French oak barrels for 19 months of aging.
Food Suggestions
Pairs well with roasted herb-coated meats, grilled portobellos, or a rich Bolognese.
