The Lithology Napa Valley presents with a dark garnet color saturated to the rim with variegated red hues. On the nose, this Cabernet charms your senses with aromas of coffee, tobacco, and both red and black fruit all balanced with just a hint of oak. The mouthfeel is bright and showcases a frame of acidity hung with flavors of cocoa, cranberry, and candied raspberries. There’s a base herbaceousness of sage, and fresh black olive tapenade leading to an elegant and almost mouthwatering finish of shadows of salinity and savory notes on fine tannins which seem to linger for just the right amount of time.

This gorgeous wine offers immense drinking pleasure from the first whiff to the last drop. A host of blackberry, blueberry, and black cherry fruit appears on the nose and palate. The tannins are impressively polished, and the finish is long and mineral-rich.
Our Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon provides us the opportunity to create a classic Napa Cabernet blended from top sites throughout the valley. The Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced primarily from the eastern edge of Rutherford, providing a core of dense, lush, mocha-laced dark fruit. In this vintage, for the first time, we acquired a touch of Howell Mountain Merlot from one of the highest vineyards in all of Napa Valley, adding vibrant energy and textural nuance. A touch of Cabernet Franc from Oakville adds a beguiling floral lift and notes of espresso.
