James Suckling

A framed and flavorful red with blackberry, black currant and chocolate aromas and flavors. Lead pencil. Full and layered with solid chewy tannins. Big but the tannins keep it in line. A blend of 86% cabernet sauvignon, 12% merlot, and 2% cabernet franc. Better in two or three years.

Another absolute blockbuster from this singular vineyard just outside of St. Helena, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Lithology Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard is based on 92% Cabernet Sauvignon and 8% Cabernet Franc brought up mostly in oak, with about a fifth in stainless steel. It's one of the bigger, richer wines in the vintage and has a thrilling bouquet of bloody black and blue fruits, iron, spring flowers, and chocolate. Powerful, full-bodied, deep, rich, and concentrated, with incredible extract and density in its aromas and flavors, this insanely good wine has velvety tannins, an incredible mid-palate, and a great finish. Don't miss it. It's gorgeous today, will be insanely good in 4-5 years, and I suspect have 40 years of overall longevity.

My favorite of the current offerings from Bulgheroni is the 2021 Lithology Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard. It's slightly smoky-oaky on the nose, offering pungent licorice and peppery notes over its deep base of cassis fruit. Full-bodied, it's rich and concentrated, with a long, plush, velvety finish.

Argentine billionaire Alejandro Bulgheroni has established winemaking ventures in several parts of the world, making a considerable splash when he purchased the Meadowood Lane property that was formerly home to Napa Valley Reserve in 2016. Full-time Kiwi winemaker Matt Sands is at the helm, with consulting support from Atelier Melka and Michel Rolland. Readers should note that many of the wines are produced in minute quantities (85–100 cases) each year and largely sold direct, but the blended Lithology Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley (1,600 cases) does make it into wider distribution.

Decanter Magazine

The full-bodied palate offers fine, intrincate tannins that are
assertive yet harmoious with the dark berry fruit. At the same
time, a rich vein of iron-like minerality and earth mingles with
a fragant cedarwood, herbs and silvers of dark chocolate on
a long satisfying finish. Polished, expresive, and delicious, all
from an exceptional site in a terrific vintage

Billionaire Argentinian businessman Alejandro Bulgheroni purchased the former Napa Valley Reserve property from Bill Harlan in 2016. That's where his flagship wine and the Lithology series of vineyard-driven luxury Cabernets are made under the day-to-day direction of winemaker Matt Sands. Atelier Melka provides consulting services, and Michel Rolland comes in to participate in putting together the final blends. A quick look at the wines reviewed reveals that the wines are based on grapes purchased from Andy Beckstoffer. In addition to these wines, Bulgheroni acquired the Justice and Waypoint wine brands when he purchased the downtown Napa wine merchant, wine bar and BBQ joint, Bounty Hunter.
