2021 Oakcross Proprietary Red, Oakville

Collectible

Wine Club Exclusive

Oakcross Proprietary Red represents our continued focus on exploring the potential of our Oakville Estate as well as the broader Oakville AVA. Oakcross was the original name given to our Oakville Estate Vineyard when it was planted in 1973, and after purchasing the property in 1981, Dennis and Judy Groth at one point considered using it as a brand name until a family member convinced them to use their own. As the name of this red blend, Oakcross symbolizes our foundation and the homesite of Groth Vineyards & Winery.

Tasting Notes

The 2021 Oakcross has an expressive bouquet of raspberry, boysenberry, blueberry cream pie, and crushed blackberry, interwoven with hints of clove, violets, pencil shaving, freshly grilled bread, and bittersweet chocolate. On the palate, a ripe plum entry gives way to tart cherry, mixed berries, and mocha, with underlying notes of graphite, cranberry, and a touch of paprika, complimented by delicate, plush tannins.

– Director of Winegrowing Ted Henry
