Lithology is a rather under-the-radar luxury cabernet brand, but I’m making the argument that it shouldn’t be. This remote Howell Mountain operation is managed by three winemakers — Philippe Melka, Maayan Koschitzky, and Matt Sands, plus consulting winemaker Michel Rolland. Their idea? Work their winemaking voodoo each year by selecting the right fruit from the best vineyards in Napa to craft the perfect wine once each year.
