Tasting notes
Groth's 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve has aged well. Vibrant red-toned fruit, orange peel, cinnamon, mint, cedar and sweet pipe tobacco build nicely in the glass. At ten years of age, the 2015 has lost some of its youthful exuberance, but it is still a very pretty and engaging wine. It shows surprising brightness for the year, with slightly jagged contours that suggest acid may have been added. Readers can look forward to another decade of fine drinking.

The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve is fabulous. Rich and unctuous in the glass, but without losing its classic feel, the Reserve conveys the richness of the vintage nicely. Black cherry, crème de cassis, smoke, licorice and sweet spice infuse the resonant, super-inviting finish. What a beautiful wine this is.
Coffee beans, eucalyptus, blackberry bush, pressed violets, slate and vanilla. Very full with bold tannins, lots of oak influence, grainy sweet fruit and a chewy finish. Verges on too much but comes together at the end. Needs lots of time. A blend of 99% cabernet sauvignon and 1% merlot. Drink in 2021.
