2018 Lokoya Cabernet Sauvignon Spring Mountain

Bathed in sunlight on the western slopes of the Mayacamas Mountains, at the northern end of the Mount Veeder appellation, the Veeder Peak vineyard sits at an elevation of 550 meters. Since 1995, Lokoya has produced a Cabernet Sauvignon here from select parcels in the steep, mountainous terrain. The struggle to survive in these volcanic soils forces the vines to search deep for nutrients, resulting in berries with intensely concentrated fruit. The wines display distinctive violet and blue fruit characteristics, with powerful tannins and exceptional aging potential.

Made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Spring Mountain was aged for 22 months in French oak, 92% of which was new. Deep garnet purple in colour, the nose is initially closed but slowly opens up to reveal earthy/rocky scents above a core of blackcurrant, blackberry and mulberry with emerging hints of lead pencil lead and green peppercorn. Medium to full bodied, the palate presents a rock-solid framework of firm, grainy tannins and bold freshness with mineral notes intertwined with the black fruit, finishing long with some evocative floral notes coming through.
