92/100

Primarily sourced from Upper Range, east of Rutherford, but including fruit from several other vineyards, the 2021 Lithology Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley boasts Intense aromas of ripe black cherries. Full-bodied, creamy and lush, it could use more complexity, but this comes at you in waves of lush fruit, followed by masses of soft tannins on the 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.

96/100

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Lithology Napa Valley checks in as a blend of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot, and a splash of Cabernet Franc coming from multiple terroirs throughout the valley. A gorgeous Cabernet, it has ripe red and black fruits as well as some tobacco and spicy, floral notes, medium to full body, ripe, velvety tannins, great mid-palate depth, and a great finish.

95/100

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.

Druvor

86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Petit Verdot, & 6% Cabernet Franc

Tasting note

'Marking the entry point into the Lithology range, the 2019 Lithology Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley is blended from several different lots. There's a slightly smoky, herbal note, plus plenty of ripe blueberry and cassis fruit on the nose. Full-bodied, rich and liquorous, it finishes with a velvety feel and notes of warm chocolate and Yemeni coffee.'

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.
