The 2019 Lithology Napa Valley has that typical saturated to the rim deep purple color with lots of red hues. On the nose, this Cabernet delights your senses with aromas of coffee, tobacco, a great balance of both red and black fruit, and just a hint of oak. It showcases an elegant balance of acid while displaying hints of cocoa, cranberry, and candied raspberries. There’s an herbaceousness of sage, and tapenade. An elegant and almost savory finish with hints of salinity and olive, this year’s Lithology expresses fine tannins which seem to linger for just the right amount of time.
Blend: 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Petit Verdot, 6% Cabernet Franc
