Wine Spectator 92 points - A hint of singed savory leads off, turning quickly to a core of raspberry and mulberry fruit, lined with alluring tea, sanguine and iron notes. Offers fine-grained grip and should unwind nicely in the cellar. Drink now through 2030. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 27,000 cases made..August/2019
Vinous 92 points - Groth’s 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon (Oakville) is silky, medium in body and super-finessed. Bright red cherry/plum fruit, wild flowers and herbs all develop in a very pleasing, mid-weight Cabernet. Best of all, this gracious, polished Cabernet will drink well with minimal cellaring..December/2018
James Suckling 92 points - A very plush and ripe, forthright style with abundant ripe plum and berry aromas, leading to a berry-flavored palate, laced with dark chocolate and vanilla. Drink or hold..November/2018
