2018 Lokoya Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain

The Lokoya Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain is like all Lokoya wines made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon aged for 22 months in French oak barrels, of which 95-97% are new. Deep garnet purple in color in the glass, it rolls effortlessly out of the glass with notes of warm cassis, black cherry, mulberry and plum preserves plus hints of dark chocolate, crushed stone and tree bark with a touch of truffles. The full palate is densely laden with earthy/savory layers of black fruit and super-firm, rugged tannins, which makes for a tightly wound, lively finish. Of this 2018 vintage, (only) 1,001 bottles were made and it is a true collector's item.

The Howell Mountain vineyard sits at an elevation of over 2,100 feet. This elevation, coupled with the daily fresh air from the Pacific Ocean, means that wines from the mountainous slopes of Napa Valley need time to develop and reach their full potential. The deep tannin structure and flavor concentration of Lokoya Cabernet Sauvignon provide the optimal profile for aging. These are wines meant to sit and mature for 30+ years, so give it a good 5 years in the bottle and drink it over the next 20+ years.
