The 2005 vintage marks the return of Groth Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon after a six vintage hiatus. For sixteen vintages the vines from Block 1, at Oakville “home” vineyard, produced grapes that made exquisite and memorable Reserve wines between 1983 and 1999. The Reserve block was pulled out and replanted in 2000 with new rootstocks, new clones, new trellising system and a new vine row orientation. The result of this huge investment in time, energy and resources can be tasted in the 2005 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon.

The 2005 harvest was one of great extremes. It was a great year all around for reds. In retrospect Dennis and Judy Groth find themselves thinking back to the fantastic vintages of 1985, 1994 and 1995. These wines will go down in the annals of great vintages as “real keepers”!

“This has wonderful richness, density and focus, with tiers of smoky plum, currant, blackberry, loamy earth, sage and underbrush notes. Though firmly tannic, there’s a measure of finesse and polish. Ends with a long, rich, persistent finish. The best Groth Reserve in years. Best from 2009 through 2015.”
