2022
Alejandro Bulgheroni Estate
Cabernet Sauvignon
Named after Lithology's proprietor, the Alejandro Bulgheroni Cabernet Sauvignon is our flagship expression of the vintage, region, and winemaking collaboration. This 2022 vintage, featuring fruit from premier St. Helena and Oakville vineyards, was crafted by winemakers Matt Sands and Philippe Melka, with Michel Rolland joining on site for the meticulous barrel blending that shaped the final cuvée. Aromas of cassis, plum and spice give way to a thread of graphite, leading into beautifully interwoven dark fruit and herb flavors, finely polished tannins, and a hint of mineral freshness on a long, elegant finish.

Lithology works with some of Napa Valley's most distinct and esteemed vineyards. The fruit selection for this 2022 Alejandro Bulgheroni wine is 53% St. Helena and 47% Oakville, with harvesting taking place from September 3rd through September 9th.

100 Points International Wine Report
It is a striking wine ....On the palate, this full-bodied wine is polished and impeccably structured...demonstrating finesse and opulence, with a lingering finish that echoes the dark fruit, earthy elements, and a touch of gravel.
98 Points Decanter
Exceptionally silky and fresh...With some air, layers of scrumptious, toasty oak spice weave around creamy blackberry, plum and cherry fruit, creating a beautifully textured and complex expression.
98 Points Jeb Dunnuck
Rocking levels of crème de cassis, spring flowers, lead pencil, and leafy tobacco all emerge on the nose, and this beauty hits the palate with full-bodied richness as well as a seamless, layered, elegant style on the palate.
