Review The Lokoya range is composed of four Cabernets, allfrom hillside/mountain appellations. The Howell Mountain is especially fine in 2016, but all four Cabernets are superb. Winemaker Chris Carpenter has a knack for getting the very best out of these sites. As always, the wines are potent and made in a style that can be enjoyed with a few years of cellaring, but that will also reward aging. - From Napa Valley’s Extraordinary 2016 Cabernets - Part 1 (Dec 2018) by Antonio Galloni
Wine maker notes Diamond Mountain overlooks the town of Calistoga in the northern reaches of Napa Valley and is part of the Mayacamas Mountains which frame the western edge of the valley. At elevations ranging from 1,000 to 1,800 feet, the vineyard soils are composed of fine volcanic dust and loam, providing rich flavors of dark cherry and bittersweet chocolate with relatively soft tannins and a layered mouthfeel.
Producer Established in 1995, Lokoya is a collection of four distinct Cabernet Sauvignons from four of Napa Valley’s most celebrated mountain appellations. These limited-production, single-vineyard wines are 100 percent Cabernet Sauvignon. Cabernet Sauvignon as lens, site as conveyor-The grape variety and winemaking for the four wines remain constant, allowing the vineyard sites to shine with the climate, soils, sunlight and drainage all fully expressed in the glass. Given the lofty provenance of the sites, the vineyards demand constant engagement-leaving no room for error. The deep understanding of the vineyard trajectory in each vintage comes from the long collaboration between Winemaker Chris Carpenter and Vineyard Manager Mariano Navarro.
