Lokoya
Mount Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon
Mt. Veeder, Napa Valley, California, USA
Stony black fruit on the nose preceded dark cherry extract, mine rally and so structured with dark vanilla oak. Shocking how young this drank, the layers of red fruit and spice really only came out on the last delicious sips...

Very intense. Young and powerful. Great mouth feel and finish.

Nicely textured, beautiful fruit, florals minerality and softy layered spice, and baking spices. This one simply isn’t showing the complexity it will yet...another 8-10 years.

Not much else I can say other than this is one of the silkiest wines I've drank this year. Like bu-ddah! From mag @Pignetti's Restaurant.

This is a seriously inky, unctuous and full throttle cab without being overblown. Wears the weight well and quite the hedonistic is experience

This is an exemplary example of Mt. Veeder fruit delivering at optimum level at 21 years of age. A completely different wine than the excellent full throttle ‘13 I had last year...this is all about balance, lush inviting fruit, earth, saddle leather, rich fig and delicious Napa maturity.

One of three Lokoya wines we enjoyed following our performance on New Year's eve in the casino ballroom in Catalina
