2002 Groth Oakville Napa Cabernet

A classic from Oakville, with rich aromas and flavors redolent of ripe stone fruit and dark berries, this is a lush wine with a subtle tannin backbone and a long finish that will become more complex with bottle age.

Had the pleasure of talking with Dennis Groth about this family winery that has made some of the finest wines in the valley.

The family wine saga began in 1981 with the purchase of the 121 acre Oakcross vineyard and continues today. Notorious for Napa Cab, the Groth's also produce Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.
