2023 Oakcross Proprietary Red, Oakville

Collectible

The 2023 Oakcross Proprietary Red is a tribute to the place where the Groth story began.

Long before Groth became a name on a bottle, Oakcross was part of the identity of our Oakville estate, a name tied to the vineyard, the land and the family’s early vision for what this site could become. Today, Oakcross carries that history forward as a wine rooted in heritage, crafted to express the depth, structure and quiet elegance of Oakville.

It is a wine made for the table, the cellar and the continued telling of our Oakville story.

Tasting Notes

The 2023 vintage brings this story to life with richness and poise. Aromas of chocolate brownie, cedar, blueberry compote, rhubarb, black currant, red plum, violets and nutmeg unfold with warmth and complexity. On the palate, layers of graham cracker, dark chocolate, mocha, cinnamon, black pepper and hibiscus are balanced by a mineral thread and fine, polished tannins.

— Director of Winegrowing Ted Henry

Vineyard

The 2023 Oakcross Proprietary Red brings together select estate-grown fruit from two meaningful Groth vineyard sites. The Cabernet Sauvignon comes from the Reserve blocks of our Oakville Estate, lending depth, structure and a true sense of place from the vineyard where the Groth story began. Petit Verdot, also grown on our Oakville Estate, adds color, intensity and aromatic lift.

To complement the power and character of Oakville, Merlot from our Hillview Estate Vineyard brings suppleness, roundness and balance to the final blend.

Pairing

Earthy roasted mushrooms, sweet caramelized onions and melted fontina bring out the Oakcross’s notes of dark chocolate, cedar, black pepper and fine tannin. Finished with thyme and a light balsamic drizzle, this everyday flatbread feels elevated while staying warm, savory and easy to share.

Casual enough for a weeknight and special enough to share, this pairing highlights the generous, polished character of Oakcross.
