Description
2014 GROTH CABERNET SAUVIGNON “OAKVILLE” NAPA VALLEY
A true American Icon and one that scored an infinite place in history when their 1985 Reserve Cabernet scored a perfect 100 Points from Robert Parker, who proclaimed it “undoubtedly the wine of the vintage for 1985 California Cabernet,” This was the first California Cabernet to earn a 100 point rating from Robert Parker… Their non-Reserve Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon remains one of the greatest values in Oakville and comes in at around half the price of what you’d expect to pay for Oakville Cabernet… Winery Notes: “The Cabernet Sauvignon is big and lush with huge gobs of fruit in the aroma and flavor. The texture of the wine is soft and supple, typical of Cabernet Sauvignons grown in our area of the Oakville AVA. The sweet vanilla character derived from 22 months in the barrels blends well with the black cherry and blackberry flavors and aromas of the wine.”
From Wine Enthusiast, “Blended with 20% Merlot, this is a finely made wine that pleases in its granular texture and bright acidity. Sinewy in feel, it has fleshy aspects of red cherry and cassis that are complemented by a cradling of vanilla oak.” 91 Points, Editor’s Choice
