Lokoya
About Lokoya
A label owned by Jackson Family Wines, Lokoya was established in 1995 as a collection of Cabernet Sauvignons from 4 of Napa Valley’s most revered mountain appellations: Mount Veeder, Howell Mountain, Spring Mountain and Diamond Mountain. Currently overseen by veteran winemaker Christopher Carpenter, Lokoya represents distinct expressions of Napa Valley’s high elevation terroir, ranging from 150 to 800 meters.
“It will be hard to eclipse the quality of this quartet of 100% Cabernet Sauvignons from the Jackson Family boutique winery of Lokoya, fashioned by their brilliant winemaker, Chris Carpenter.” – Robert M. Parker Jr.

Jeb Dunnuck (100)Unfortunately, there won’t be a 2017 due to the fires, but the perfect 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Mt. Veeder should certain tide you over. This literally off-the-charts effort is a good as Cabernet Sauvignon gets, offering complex blueberry and blackberry fruits, violets, bay leaf, and forest floor aromas and flavors. It’s a big, structured mountain Cabernet, yet it has a seamless texture, incredible elegance paired with full-bodied power, building tannins, and a great, great finish. Hide bottles for 4-5 years and it will keep for 3+ decades. Good luck keeping your hands off it, though. Anticipated maturity: 2023-2051 |

Jeb Dunnuck (99)Also borderline perfection, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Spring Mountain District offers more conifer and pine forest notes as well as vivid blueberry fruits, a full-bodied, intense, layered mouthfeel, thrilling elegance, and a big finish. My note on this one was sprinkled with a few expletives and this wine has everything you could want from Cabernet Sauvignon. As with the other 2016s from Chris, 2-4 years of bottle age are recommended. |
