Lokoya Cabernet Sauvignon Diamond Mountain 1999

Diamond Mountain, Napa Valley, California, United StatesThe '99 is a 79/21 blend of cabernet sauvignon and merlot all from Reverie Vineyard on Diamond Mountain. Expect intense ripe blackberry jam aromas mingled with pepper, licorice, clove, dried poblano, vanilla and floral aromas. Very aromatic. It's rich, ripe and concentrated on the palate with fine tannins. More blackberry jam, cooked cassis and tobacco flavours with an earthy, spicy, clove finish. Balanced with potential to age for the next 7 to 12 years. Very fine effort.Tasted: 17 February 2003Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
