Description

2015 Groth Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville 750mL, Three bottles


This recently released vintage came from an early harvest with lighter yields. Made with estate fruit from Groth’s 27.78-acre Reserve Block, the Cab aged 22 months in barrel and 14 months in bottle before it was released this past October. Perfumed red peony and roses along with tilled soil generate a garden party on the nose. Structured and mighty, dusty cocoa and ripe plum lead to a sweetly spicy mid-palate of sage and cedar. It’s reminiscent of a Grand Cru Bordeaux, albeit with some extra sunshine.


 


GROTH 2018 CHARDONNAY "HILLVIEW" NAPA VALLEY 750mL, Three bottles


Long, cool fermentation in a mixture of old and new barrels gives this Chardonnay layers of fruitiness and complexity that result in a wine that is very enjoyable when young or after several years of bottle age. This method of fermentation, in conjunction with whole cluster pressing and "sur lie" aging add layers of toastiness and creaminess to the wine. Together these components meld together harmoniously to create a balanced wine that is both lively and rich in aroma and flavor.
