Description

How sweet it is…to feature at Premiere Napa Valley, we’ve chosen Cabernet from the sweetest spot in our Oakville estate, Block 8 of our Reserve Vineyard, a 13-acre parcel next to Conn Creek. The 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, Clone 7, was harvested from the morning side of the vines and aged 18 months. The Tonnellerie Sylvain barrel was hand-picked by our assistant winemaker, Eric Fidel with Jean-Luc Sylvain, owner and proprietor of one of our favorite coopers, for its richness, finesse and aromatic elegance of very fine-grained oak. 2011 is sure to be recognized as a Bordeaux-like vintage with lower alcohol, well-balanced fruit and Groth’s signature velvet tannin structure, and we are pleased to make this special selection from it available to Premiere Napa Valley bidders.
