LITHOLOGY The study of the formation, composition, and classification of rocks.
Napa Valley is a tale of fire and ash, molten rock, and explosive geological forces that etched their mark upon the land millennia ago. Over time, this substance has weathered and decomposed, creating soil that is rich in minerals and well-drained — the perfect conditions for exceptional grapevines to thrive. In these unique soils, our acclaimed winemakers dig a little deeper to create a distinguished collection of wines, each a powerful testament to the earth’s ability to shape and refine the flavors in your glass.
Our Story From 2014 to today
Since 2014, Lithology's winemaking team, consistent since the beginning, has drawn from the same collection of Napa Valley's most storied vineyards, every vintage. The historic stone winery on Meadowood Lane has stood for decades. What happens inside it continues to evolve. A small estate, rooted in place, and in constant, quiet motion. Each wine in the Single-Vineyard collection maps a distinct site: Beckstoffer To Kalon, Las Piedras, Dr. Crane. Every bottle is a portrait of place. The next chapter is already in the cellar.
Visit Us Intimate by design and unhurried by intention
The Lithology Estate on Meadowood Lane sits quietly at the base of Howell Mountain, a historic property, intimate by design and unhurried by intention. Each visit is private and bespoke, crafted for the guest and built around the wines themselves: the Single-Vineyard collection, the soils behind each bottle, and the work still taking shape in the cellar.
