Oakville Neighbors Series: 2018 Joe's Spade Cabernet

Winery Exclusive

Inaugural vintage | Just 200 cases produced

Launched with the 2018 vintage, Groth’s Oakville Neighbors Series explores the diversity of Oakville Cabernet through single-vineyard grower lots that stand on their own as a distinct expression of the appellation.

Joe’s Spade comes from a vineyard owned by the Taddei family, which has had a homestead in Oakville for five generations. Groth has a long history with the Taddei family, currently as the sole purchaser of its fruit, and retired Groth Winemaker Emeritus Michael Weis worked with the family as far back as the 1970s. Today the vineyard is farmed by Kara Taddei, Joe’s granddaughter. Joe’s Spade is a reference to the Taddei family logo that appears on their grape bins

Vineyard

The Taddei family’s 20-acre vineyard is located on the west side of Oakville, just a stone’s throw from Ren Harris’ vineyard. It is said Antonio Taddei, Joe’s grandfather, was the first person to introduce vitis vinifera grapes to their property after Prohibition. The 2018 Joe’s Spade comes from Block 1.

Pairing

Braised short ribs with root vegetables or a big ol’ juicy hamburger will be excellent companions for this wine. If meat isn’t for you, a rich wild mushroom risotto will make an excellent pairing.
