Groth Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville 2022

Deep purple-ruby in color, this Oakville Cabernet opens with toffee, blueberry pie, raspberry compote, vanilla bean and cranberry, with bay leaf and tarragon adding savory lift. Cherry reduction, tart red plum, wild strawberry, dried herbs, tobacco and pomegranate carry through a lively palate framed by fine, grippy tannins.
