The deeper purple-hued 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve is a terrific Oakville effort loaded with pure cassis fruit as well as notes of spicy oak, scorched earth, and tobacco. Classic Napa Cabernet in every way, it's medium to full-bodied, has ripe, polished tannins, a terrific spine of acidity, and the balance and purity to evolve for 20-25 years if well stored.

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve is a potent, opulent wine. Ripe, succulent and quite expressive, the 2019 delivers plenty of punch while retaining a classic sense of structure. Succulent red cherry, plum, spice, new leather and cedar lend an exotic flair. This is an especially flamboyant style for Groth.
