When Dennis andWhen Dennis and Judy Groth established their Oakville Cross Road estate in 1981, Oakville was already being recognized as Napa Valley's finest Cabernet Sauvignon terrain — but the specific critical recognition that would define the appellation's global reputation had not yet arrived.
That recognition cameThat recognition came with the 1985 Groth Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, which earned Robert Parker's first-ever perfect 100-point score for a Napa Valley wine, establishing both the specific quality standard that Oakville Cabernet could achieve and the critical vocabulary that would define Napa Valley's subsequent international reputation.
