Lokoya 2022 Mount Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley
Rare new release from one of California's finest Cabernet producers. Limited.
98 Points Jeb Dunnuck: "The Jackson family purchased the Veeder Peak property in 1994, from which the fruit for this Lokoya bottling comes. The Lokoya 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Mount Veeder offers up fabulous spice notes, ranging from cinnamon and clove to anise and sage, all layered atop a dark-fruited base of black cherries and cassis. Full-bodied, concentrated and rich, yet silky smooth, this is tannic but ripe and polished, balanced and long on the finish. Maybe the strongest of the Lokoya bottlings this year?"
97+ Points Robert Parker: "Another stunning release, the 2022 Lokoya Mount Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon shows intense black cherries, graphite, resinous herbs, sage, and currants, with tremendous minerality on the nose. Full-bodied and massively structured, it delivers beautiful concentration backed by substantial yet polished tannins and exceptional length. This 100% Cabernet spent 22 months in 88% new French oak and is going to evolve gracefully for 25+ years. It will most likely be one of the longest-lived wines in the vintage."
...... One of the top-of-the-charts, special, rare superstars of the Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon wine scene is Lokoya. It’s hard to believe that 2000 was the first vintage for winemaker Chris Carpenter working at Lokoya. He has had a succession of world-class, truly magnificent wines from different mountain sites in Napa. There are four cuvées from Lokoya in 2014, representing four separate mountain sites – Diamond Mountain in the northwest, Spring Mountain behind the town of St. Helena, Howell Mountain on the eastside in the Vaca Mountains, and Mt. Veeder southwest of Oakville. Production of these wines ranges from a low of 509 cases for the Spring Mountain to 1,460 for the Mt. Veeder. They’re expensive, but generally in line with what you would expect to pay for a great first-growth from Bordeaux, which is where they compete qualitatively. These wines are all 100% Cabernet Sauvignon and are aged in 89 to 100% new French oak prior to being bottled unfiltered. The 2014s have put on weight and that’s reflected in just how great they have turned out. In addition, their silky tannins and soft, sumptuous, up-front style will be immediately appealing to serious consumers."
