Lokoya 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon (Diamond Mountain)

Cellar Selection
Online Exclusive

Price $350

Made in the Lokoya style, which is darkly colored, full bodied, tannic and dense in mountain fruit. A spicy oak tone joins with massive blackberry, cassis and violet flavors to make this wine delicious from the start. It’s very tannic and needs a great deal of time. Begin to enjoy this wine in 2016, and it should go far longer than that. — S.H. (8/1/2012)

Lokoya 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon (Spring Mountain)

Cellar Selection
Online Exclusive

Price $350

This shows the tightly knit tannins of Spring Mountain, and is unapologetic about them, demanding that you cellar this wine. It’s very finely constructed, with brisk acidity and a firm, grounding minerality below the intensely concentrated core of blackberry and cassis flavors. It should hit its stride in 8-10 years and go for well beyond that. — S.H. (8/1/2012)

Lokoya 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon (Howell Mountain)

Cellar Selection
Online Exclusive

Price $350

The style of this wine may not be for everyone, but there’s no doubt that it’s a great success for its type. Dry and full bodied, it shows intensely concentrated blackberry, cassis and mineral flavors, wrapped into huge, thick tannins. This absolutely requires aging; begin drinking it in 2016, but even then, it will be just starting to mellow. — S.H. (8/1/2012)

Lokoya 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon (Mount Veeder)

Cellar Selection

Price $120

There’s something almost Zinny about this wine, with its brambly, briary notes of wild blueberries and blackberries and sun-warmed summer bark and dust. It possesses fabulous intensity, but those mountain tannins are palate-numbing, and they shut down the finish. Demands time beyond 2010. — S.H. (5/1/2005)

Lokoya 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon (Mount Veeder)

Cellar Selection
Online Exclusive

Price $350

Bitter tannins lock this wine down in mouth-numbing astringency. Below the tannins is incredibly pure fruit, by way of blackberry and plum flavors. It has firm minerality, like a lick of stone, while oak aging brings its own flavor profile as well as additional wood tannins. This is nowhere near ready, so give it at least eight years in the cellar. — S.H. (8/1/2012)
