Indulge in the exquisite allure of Groth's 2020 Oakcross, a true testament to the legacy of our Oakville Estate and the unmatched splendor of the Oakville AVA. Oakcross, a name steeped in history, pays homage to our roots and the very heart of Groth Vineyards & Winery.
Crafted with finesse and devotion, the 2020 Oakcross Red is an embodiment of depth and complexity. Upon a gentle swirl in your glass, a symphony of ripe blackberry, black plum, and cherry cola dances to the fore, paving the way for a mesmerizing journey through intriguing earthy notes. The aromas evoke the rich essence of the forest floor, cedar, Earl Grey tea, and wet clay, promising an exploration of the senses.
The palate is a revelation, striking the perfect balance between richness and vitality. A chorus of juicy black raspberry, blackberry, and red currant harmoniously unite, caressed by the delicate embrace of fine-grained tannins. The opulence of black fruits lingers, intermingled with the subtleties of warm baking spices and a chalkboard minerality that defines the essence of Oakcross.
In the hands of Director of Winegrowing Ted Henry, this masterpiece is brought to life, a symphony of flavors and aromas that beckon you to savor every drop.
The magic of the 2020 Oakcross Red begins in the vineyards. The Cabernet Sauvignon, accounting for 81% of the blend, hails from the Reserve blocks of our esteemed Oakville Estate. Complementing this regal varietal, the Merlot comes from our Hillview Estate Vineyard, with additional Merlot and Petit Verdot sourced from our trusted grower partners.
Barreled with care, 70% new French oak cradles this elixir for 21 months, allowing it to mature and evolve into the masterpiece it has become. The result is a wine that embodies the essence of the Oakville AVA, a testament to the craft of winemaking, and a tribute to the land that nurtured it.
With an alcohol content of 13.9%, the 2020 Oakcross Red is ready to be enjoyed and savored, either on special occasions or during intimate moments that call for the extraordinary. This wine is not just a beverage; it's an experience, an embodiment of the Oakville terroir, and a testament to the passion that drives us.

95 POINTS - "While nicely polished and velvety, this wine boasts extremely deep black fruits and full, encompassing tannins that will need several years to resolve for optimum drinking pleasure. Blackberries, blueberries, cinnamon and cloves crowd the palate." - Wine Enthusiast
The 2020 Oakcross Red possesses tremendous depth and complexity that is revealed with time in the glass. On the nose, a surge of ripe blackberry, black plum and cherry cola gives way to intriguing earthy/savory undertones: forest floor, cedar, Earl Grey tea, and wet clay. The rich palate is lifted and energetic, with a drive of juicy black raspberry, blackberry, and red currant beautifully framed by fine-grained tannins. Black fruits echo through the finish with hints of warm baking spice and chalkboard minerality. — Director of Winegrowing Ted Henry
