Community Tasting Note

90 Points

Sunday, June 4, 2017 - Garnet in color. Decanted for an hour which was a mistake. Drank better as a pop and pour. I drank this over a 2 hour period. Originally had a decent nose. As time went on the nose became muted and with that the mid palate thinned out and the finish shortened. I have drank the 2008, 2010, and 2012 Groth cabernet and I am a fan. I drank this 3 years ago and it was much better then. I had the wine manager at the Newport Beach Vons tell me that you should consume California cab in under 8 years. While that might not be true of a mountain or reserve cab, I drank two 2007's and a 2008 this week and all seemed a couple years past there prime. Drink this wine now.
