Tasting notes
Groth's 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon (Oakville) is soft, pretty and understated. A sweet floral and spice character gives this gracious, mid-weight Oakville Cabernet lovely aromatic top notes. The 2016 is an attractive wine, but is also a bit light, even within this more restrained style favored by Groth.

Groth's 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon (Oakville) is silky, medium in body and super-finessed. Bright red cherry/plum fruit, wild flowers and herbs all develop in a very pleasing, mid-weight Cabernet. Best of all, this gracious, polished Cabernet will drink well with minimal cellaring.
Medium garnet-black in color, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon has an earthy nose with fungi and chargrill with plums and kirsch at the core. Medium-bodied, the palate is hollow, rustic and short on the finish.
A very plush and ripe, forthright style with abundant ripe plum and berry aromas, leading to a berry-flavored palate, laced with dark chocolate and vanilla. Drink or hold.
