Lithology Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Lithology – Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
Napa Valley – California, USA 🇺🇸

Overview
Crafted from select Napa Valley vineyards, Lithology specializes in expressive, small-production Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2021 vintage exemplifies the lush, polished, and powerful style that has made Napa Cabs world-famous. (Educational note: Napa’s 2021 vintage was hailed for concentration and balance after a smaller-than-average crop, yielding wines of both richness and structure.)

Aromas & Flavors
Blackberry, cassis, and dark cherry dominate, with layers of mocha, vanilla, and cedar. Hints of violet, graphite, and baking spice add refinement.

Mouthfeel
Full-bodied, with an extraordinary, velvety texture. Luscious, layered, and mouth-coating, yet balanced by fine tannins and polished acidity. A true “show stopper” style with lingering intensity.

Food Pairings
Ideal with ribeye steak, braised short ribs, or grilled lamb. Also pairs beautifully with truffle dishes or aged hard cheeses.

Verdict
A bold, luxurious Napa Cab — expressive, concentrated, and texturally stunning. The 2021 Lithology is a modern classic, delivering both power and elegance in equal measure. 🍷

Did You Know?
The Lithology label is produced under the Alejandro Bulgheroni Estate, a project known for working with acclaimed vineyard sources and top consulting winemakers in Napa.

Collector’s Rarity 📌

La Auracaria Listan Negro Rosé

Relaxing and subtle summer wine. A little watery in a refreshing way, doesn’t get me hungover, a good daytime functioning wine. The bottle is pretty for a dinner party 💕 — 3 years ago

Pesquera Ribera del Duero Tempranillo 1989

Opened with the help of a Durand; cork was 4/5 saturated but did its job! Color looked fantastic so I poured slowly into a wide bottom decanter and enjoyed over the course of three hours. The 1989 pours a deep garnet color with a near opaque core and a slightly orange rim; medium viscosity with light staining of the tears and some light sediment. On the nose, the wine is vinous with notes of ripe and desiccated red and black fruit: black cherry, fig, brambles, leather, mushrooms, cedar box, earth, cool and warm spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin (integrated) and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and slightly savory. This was a lovely showing by a perfectly cellared bottle. Drink now through 2029.

This is so extra! Carries that old-world fruit forward, dusty, tannic, yet velvety feel, especially when given about and hr to aerate. Not a textbook but certainty classically joyfully RdD. — 3 years ago
