A collection of single-vineyard wines sculpted from Napa Valley’s ancient soils.

Lithology – /lIˈθɒlədʒi/ – noun

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.
