Lithology is NapaLithology is Napa Valley's most geologically focused and educationally intentional luxury wine collection.
✓
The name itselfThe name itself — lithology being the geological study of rock composition and texture — declares the program's founding conviction: that Napa Valley's diverse geological formations, from the volcanic basalt of the eastern mountain ridges to the alluvial benchland gravels of Oakville and Rutherford to the marine sedimentary soils of Coombsville, produce Cabernet Sauvignon of fundamentally different character when winemaking allows geology to express without intervention.
✓
The Lithology collectionThe Lithology collection produces Cabernet Sauvignon from multiple geologically distinct Napa Valley sub-appellations — each wine named for its specific geological formation and produced in tiny quantities that allow the kind of precise site-by-site attention that geology-focused winemaking demands.

Cabernet Sauvignon
Volcanic Series Cabernet Sauvignon

Lithology's most structurally intense geological expression — Volcanic Series Cabernet from Howell Mountain volcanic basalt terrain showing the dark concentration and mineral intensity that ancient volcanic rock produces in this Bordeaux variety when geology-first winemaking allows the geological formation to express without manipulation.

Cabernet Sauvignon
Alluvial Series Cabernet Sauvignon
Oakville / Lithology Estate
Lithology's most generous and immediately accessible geological expression — Alluvial Series from Oakville benchland alluvial soils showing the warm, food-compatible, structurally generous character that river-deposited gravelly loam consistently produces in Napa Valley's most celebrated Cabernet benchland appellation.

Cabernet Sauvignon
Sedimentary Series Cabernet Sauvignon
Coombsville / Lithology Estate
Lithology's most distinctive geological expression — Sedimentary Series from Coombsville marine sedimentary soils in the cool volcanic sub-appellation south of Napa city, showing the most mineral and food-first Cabernet character of the three Lithology geological series.
Estate
★★★★☆
Chardonnay
Chardonnay
Napa Valley / Lithology Estate
Lithology's geological philosophy applied to white wine — Napa Valley Chardonnay from carefully identified geological sourcing partnerships showing what the geology-first minimal-intervention winemaking conviction that guides the Cabernet program produces in California's most popular white variety from Napa Valley's most diverse geological landscape.
