The Winery
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
- WA100
- A wine offering notes of grilled steak, steak tartare, beef blood, blueberries and blackberries galore is the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Mount Veeder. Everything here emerges from the Jackson-owned Veeder Peak Vineyard. Chris Carpenter agrees that this has to be one of the greatest vintages he’s ever had the pleasure to work with – and he has some serious experience under his belt. This 100% Cabernet Sauvignon wine is utterly profound, and while the scoring system ends at 100, if I had to pick a single wine that may have been my favorite of all the tastings I did in Napa, this could have been my pick. Full-bodied, rich, with incredible integration of its component parts of acidity, tannin, alcohol and wood, the wine is lavishly built, has compelling purity, richness and density, and a finish, again, that rivals that of the Howell Mountain, being close to one minute in length. This wine will be certainly approachable young, but last 30-40+ years.
