Lokoya Howell Mountain 2018

The 2018 Lokoya Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon is a powerful and structured red wine from Napa Valley, crafted by winemaker Chris Carpenter from 100 percent Cabernet Sauvignon grapes grown at high elevations. Aged for 22 months in French oak, this vintage delivers an intense aromatic profile of crushed blueberries, cassis, and black cherries complemented by notes of mocha, graphite, and forest floor. On the palate, it exhibits a full body with firm, broad tannins and a signature stony minerality that reflects its volcanic soil origin. Highly acclaimed by critics for its balance and aging potential, this wine is designed for long term cellaring and is expected to evolve beautifully through 2043.
