2019 | Alejandro Bulgheroni | Lithology Cabernet Sauvignon

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

Reviews:

• James Suckling: This is pretty and aromatic with notes of blueberries, black raspberries, cloves, licorice and graphite. It shows mellow ripeness yet it is crunchy and fresh on the palate, with polished tannins with some chalkiness. Vibrant and delicious with hints of dried herbs and spices at the end.

• Jeb Dunnuck: Giving up lots of red and black fruits, notes of leather, loamy earth, and dried herbs, medium to full body, and beautiful balance on the palate

Producer Information

The land of Alejandro Bulgheroni Estate was once part of the Rancho Carne Humana Spanish land grant given to Edward T. Bale in 1841. Bale married the niece of Mexican General Vallejo and was awarded the grant shortly after. Their daughter, Caroline, married Charles Krug and received a dowry of a 20-acre piece of the Rancho that would eventually become Charles Krug Winery.After its acquisition by Alejandro Bulgheroni, he began an extensive renovation and enhancement project to upgrade the old stone winery, plant new vineyard blocks, transform the tasting salon and re-envision the future of the property.The winery renovations provided upgraded infrastructure and new equipment, dedicated solely to the vinification of Lithology wines. In future years, additional vineyard blocks will be planted at the highest elevation of the property and a cave will be built for barrel storage and aging.
