Reviewed January 2025A beautifully lush and silky Sauvignon Blanc from Groth’s Oakville Estate, this blend of 83% Sauvignon Blanc and 17% Sémillon offers creamy orchard fruit and subtle tropical nuances, all wrapped in a balanced, fruit-driven finish. Hints of spring flowers, vanilla, and coriander cream add elegance. At the same time, a thread of stony minerality provides depth and freshness—a polished and expressive take on Oakville white Bordeaux-style blends. (JC)

Wine Spectator
This stunning white is impressive for the purity of its Meyer lemon, lime curd and citrus zest notes, which are fragrant and bright, with hints of dried mango, Honeycrisp apple, crystallized lemon peel and freshly grated ginger. The frame is light and elegant, but the flavors pack a wallop, especially on the finish. Drink now. (MW)

The nose offers discrete notes of lemons, cut grass and peaches. The palate is medium-bodied with bright acidity, giving notes of green apples, lime zest and guavas. Fresh and generous. Drink now.

Wine Advocate
Groth's 2023 Estate Sauvignon Blanc offers up scents of pink grapefruit, ripe figs and Anjou pear. Made in second-fill acacia wood, neutral French oak barrels and concrete eggs, with six months of sur lie aging, it's just medium-bodied but nicely plump and rounded on the mid-palate, turning crisp and refreshing on the lemon-and-grapefruit finish. (JC)
Notes
Entirely estate-grown in Oakville. A blend of 83% Sauvignon Blanc, an 17% Semillon. Fermentation is done in second-fill Acacia, neutral French oak barrels, and concrete egg. The wine rests for six months on its lees before bottling.
