”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.
Summary
The Lokoya Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain 2016 is a distinguished wine from the esteemed Jackson Family Wines, crafted exclusively from high-elevation vineyards on Howell Mountain. This 100% Cabernet Sauvignon showcases a deep purple-black hue and an impressive aromatic profile featuring lilacs, black truffles, and a hint of menthol, complemented by a core of ripe cassis, mulberries, and warm plums. On the palate, it is full-bodied with firm, ripe tannins, and a refreshing acidity. The finish is long and layered with notes of tobacco and earthy nuances, reflecting its powerful and concentrated style. Aged for approximately 20-22 months in new French oak, this wine exemplifies the potential for long-term aging and has a limited production of only 920 cases.
