Lokoya
”It will be hard to eclipse the quality of this quartet of 100% Cabernet Sauvignons from the Jackson Family boutique winery of Lokoya.”
-Wine Advocate
Since its founding by Jess Jackson of Jackson Family Wineries in 1995 Lokoya has been producing distinctly renowned Cabernet Sauvignons from four of Napa’s most famed mountain appellations: Mount Veeder, Howell Mountain, Spring Mountain and Diamond Mountain. The combination of these high elevation sites with the small, thick-skinned berries requires precise management and advanced winemaking skills to create the acclaimed wines that make up Lokoya.
With its production of about 2,400 cases annually coming from the mountain vineyards known for their sparse soils, high elevations, good drainage and cool climates, Lokoya wines are highly sought out by collectors around the world, Lokoya wines can be enjoyed for years to come.
Tasting Notes
- WA97
- Another blockbuster, the 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Mt. Veeder, which has the largest production, exhibits a deep blue/purple color along with notes of burning embers, charcoal, sweet black currant liqueur, licorice and scorched earth. It possesses fabulous fruit along with full-bodied power, a voluptuous texture and beautiful density as well as richness. It is not far off the quality of the brilliant 2007. 97+ Points
- WE94
- Bitter tannins lock this wine down in mouth-numbing astringency. Below the tannins is incredibly pure fruit, by way of blackberry and plum flavors. It has firm minerality, like a lick of stone, while oak aging brings its own flavor profile as well as additional wood tannins. This is nowhere near ready, so give it at least eight years in the cellar. Cellar Selection.
