Lokoya Cabernet Sauvignon Mount Veeder 2014
Mount Veeder, Napa Valley, California, United StatesLokoya Mt. Veeder has been made from a selection of blocks within Veeder Peak Estate vineyard for almost 20 years. The cabernet sits on a series of sun-bathed western ridges of the Mayacamas Mountain range that make up the northern end of the Mount Veeder AVA. Poor, low nutrient volcanic soil yields small berries and big, concentrated flavours that come at you as soon as you stick your nose in the glass. Blue/black fruits with an intense floral (violets) aroma preview a classic mountain red with rich, dense, long tannin. The structure reflects its 100 percent cabernet sauvignon makeup, fermented with native yeast, and bottled unfined and unfiltered. Smoke, cassis, lined with exotic, incense spices, this is a magical wine only beginning its life. I love the dry, firm, mineral undercurrent and red fruit styling that signals its serious nature. Buy and hold for 15 years before you start to drink it. Impressive winemaking.Tasted: 11 May 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $359.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
