Perhaps no winery is more synonymous with an AVA than Groth is with Oakville. Their 1985 Reserve Cabernet holds the distinction of being Robert Parker’s first-ever 100-point score awarded to a domestic wine. That was just the beginning.
Since then, they’ve appeared on Wine Spectator’s Top 100 list eight times, including the most recent time with this, their 2016 Oakville Reserve, a 96-point age-worthy beauty that is easily one of the best California Cabernet collectors items out there.
In the 2018 vintage in Napa, a vintage that Forbes’ Tom Hyland called “a truly outstanding vintage”, Groth’s Oakville Cabernet is absolutely gorgeous. It’s remarkably fresh, with great acidity and tannic structure and plenty of ageability. Antonio Galloni didn’t stop at just calling the wine “fabulous” , going as far to say that the wine “shows the important strides that have been made [at Groth] in recent years.”

The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville is fabulous. Moreover, it shows the important strides that have been made here in recent years. A wine of depth as well as energy, the Oakville Cabernet is both complete and absolutely delicious. Time brings out a whole range of leather spice and chocolate notes to play off a core of intense, dark-fleshed fruit… In a word: impressive

In the 2020 vintage in Gevrey-Chambertin, yields were super low and temperatures were hotter than most Burgundian winemakers are accustomed. Many picked too late when the sugars were high and the fruit really ripe, but that was not the play. Still, Ann remained as cool in those hot temps as she did so many years ago in Napa, concentrating more on acid levels than sugars and picking at just the right time. This wine is absolutely singing – it’s an age-worthy beauty that should be even better in 4-7 years.
It’s always nice to be in good standing with one of the most beloved wine brands in America! These won’t last long! This is an opulent, powerful dark-fruited Cabernet with tightly woven tannins, that is just raring and ready to go. Textbook, full-bodied, revved up and ready to go, this new Caymus Napa Valley Cabernet is the definition of a crowd pleaser.

This is a really exciting new release in the collection of single-vineyards from the Wagner Family, and arguably the most interesting one of the bunch. This is the only Pinot Noir in the Caymus collection that has the advantage of being from a natural Pinot Noir haven in the Russian River Valley. Dairyman Vineyard’s proximity to the pacific ocean, with its morning fog and afternoon coastal breezes allows for an even and elongated growing season, with super concentrated and expressive grape clusters that help make this Dijon clone Pinot Noir one that you need.
This one comes from very old vines in eight different lieux-dits, with the largest portion coming from Le Fourneau. Harvest is all by hand, and this wine sees 18 months in barrels with only 10% new oak. Clement (rightfully) believes that keeping the oak primarily neutral here brings out the most authentic and intense expression of his Pinot Noirs. Take a sip or two of this and you will know exactly what I mean.
