Lokoya Spring Mountain District 2018

The 2018 Lokoya Spring Mountain District Cabernet Sauvignon is a powerful and concentrated red wine from Napa Valley, crafted by winemaker Chris Carpenter. Composed of 100% Cabernet Sauvignon and aged for 22 months in 92% new French oak, it presents a deep garnet-purple color and a complex aromatic profile featuring blackcurrants, blackberries, and mulberries intertwined with notes of crushed rocks, pencil lead, and violet. The palate is full-bodied and robust, characterized by a rock-solid frame of firm, grainy tannins and bold freshness that carries mineral suggestions through a long, evocative finish. While it offers early approachability with lush fruit and exotic floral notes, this mountain Cabernet is built for longevity and will benefit from several years of cellar aging to fully develop its layered depth and elegance.
