1990 | Groth | Cabernet Sauvignon

Dark, with a stir-fry of bell pepper, coffee, herb and spicy notes.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: Groth's regular cuvee of Cabernet Sauvignon offers the classic Groth style - sweet, almost intensely opulent fruit flavors, silky tannins, and hedonistic mouthfuls of ripe, herb, coffee, and cassis-flavored Cabernet fruit. The expansive 1990, which has had 15% Merlot added, is a near-termer, with low acidity, satiny smooth, rich flavors, and gobs of toffee, mocha, and cassis in its bouquet. Cabernet lovers should find this flattering wine immensely appealing.

• James Suckling: Dark, with a stir-fry of bell pepper, coffee, herb and spicy notes, gaining richness and depth, with chocolaty currant and plum flavors folding in nicely. Firms up on the tannic finish.

Producer Information

Groth Vineyards and Winery is located in the Oakville sub-appellation of Napa Valley, California. It is known for its Cabernet Sauvignon and Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon wines, but produces Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and, more recently, a Bordeaux-styled Estate White as well. Dennis and Judy Groth bought the 120-acre (50-hectare) property in Oakville in 1981, and another 44 acres (18 hectares) south of Yountville a year later. The Oakville property in particular is considered prime real estate – Plumpjack, Screaming Eagle and Silver Oak are all a stone's throw from the Groth site. In the vineyards, Groth uses cover crops to establish a healthy insect population and preserve soil moisture, an important consideration in California's dry environment. Since 1996, some 90 percent of the vineyards have been replanted to match each soil type with its most suitable clone and rootstock. Both the generic and reserve Cabernet Sauvignon wines are sourced from the Oakville property, and are full-bodied and true to the appellation. The Groth Chardonnay comes from the Yountville property, and a Sauvignon Blanc is produced from fruit purchased from around the valley.
