Wine Spectator

Shows the up-front fruit of the vintage, with a good lush feel to the mix of plum and warmed cherry compote notes, lined with light menthol, sage and warm earth hints along the way. Polished (for the vintage) finish. Drink now through 2034.

Wine Enthusiast

This well-structured, classically styled Cabernet offers black currant and cedar aromas, vivid black cherry and cranberry flavors and supportive, sandy tannins for a grippy texture. It is medium bodied, fresh and lively on the palate. Best from 2025–2032.

Decanter

A very lovely and elegant expression of Oakville Cabernet from Groth, which was able to harvest the fruit that comprises this cuvee before the Glass Fire of 27 September. It's a compact, tight-knit, gorgeously balanced Cabernet that is reticent upon opening but with air reveals a wealth of crunchy red berry fruit, dusty minerals, cedarwood and capsicum. Medium-bodied with juicy red cherry, boysenberry, dark chocolate and sandalwood. Intricate fine-grained tannins and blood orange acidity make for a compelling and balanced red—best from 2024.
