Lokoya Cabernet Sauvignon Diamond Mountain 2000

Diamond Mountain, Napa Valley, California, United StatesVery exotic spicy nose with cumin, cardamom, cedar, pepper, saddle leather, cassis and blackberry aromas with vanilla, briny olive and mint notes underneath. Suave, round and balanced on entry and light, dry tannins. More spicy, cumin, peppery, cassis, vanilla, smoky tobacco and chocolate flavours with olive, minty, licorice flavours on the finish. Reminds one of great Indian spices ground fresh in the restaurant. Very complex yet in a lighter style for a mountain wine and certainly it is drinkable now. It should improve over the next 3-4 years.Tasted: 08 April 2004Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
