2019 Alejandro Bulgheroni, Lithology Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, Bottle (750ml)

JD97+ "Also a classic expression of its terroir, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Lithology Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard boasts a ripe, opulent, powerful style as well as notes of darker currants, tobacco, lead pencil, chocolate, and gravelly earth. I always find a Graves-like richness as well as a sense of earth from this site, and this beauty has it all in spades. Full-bodied, ripe, and polished on the palate, it stays relatively compact and will benefit from 4-5 years of bottle age." JD Jan 2022

"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." JC for WA Oct 2022
