Napa Valley
Cabernet Sauvignon
Featuring the three exceptional vintages of 2019, 2021, and 2022, this collection displays the subtle differences in growing seasons and the artistry of Lithology winemaking. Crafted from premier Napa Valley vineyards, this Cabernet Sauvignon captures the essence of the region’s diverse terroir—from the structure of Oak Knoll and Howell Mountain to the soft tannins of Rutherford and Oakville, and the herbal notes of Coombsville. Harvested at lower sugar levels yet with ripe tannins, it was aged in carefully selected French oak barrels to achieve balance, complexity, and finesse.
This vertical selection is only available for a limited time and pairs beautifully with holiday meals and family moments.
