Groth Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon 2016 1.5 L

The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve emerges from two blocks on the western edge of the property where gravelly, alluvial soils naturally produce low yields in the vineyard. Black cherry, menthol, lavender, spice and dried flowers all develop enticingly in the glass. Bright and focused with plenty of supporting structure, the 2016 is extremely expressive, even in the early going. I would give it a few years in bottle to soften.\n Producer Information\n Groth Vineyards and Winery is located in the Oakville sub-appellation of Napa Valley, California.
