Alejandro Bulgheroni Lithology Cabernet Sauvignon is made from 100 percent Cabernet Sauvignon.
We only produced a scant 50 cases of this wine this year, far too small an amount considering how great it turned out. There’s that typical saturated to the rim deep purple color, with intense cassis, herb, and milk chocolate, bricks and forest floor, black plum pudding aromas. In the mouth, there’s a great balance, with notable oak and vanilla notes intertwined with dense black fruits. It’s an opulent and plush style, yet finishes with sweet grippy tannins.
Hyde de Villaine Chardonnay Napa Valley Carneros Hyde Vineyard is made from 100 percent Chardonnay.
Star-bright vibrancy. Chiseled acidity and minerality focus the palate with flavors spanning lemon ice to dried mango and hazelnut. The purity of this wine showcases the coolness of the 2023 vintage. A captivating texture of precision and charm highlights this complexity offering.
Review:
This wine is truly excellent, showing a mineral-edged nose with pure energy and tension. Aromas of struck match, citrus blossoms, crushed stones and salted nuts. The palate is taut, with no hard edges and driving acidity that keeps you salivating for minutes. Closing in on perfection. Drink or hold.
