Lokoya is a winery in Napa valley which makes Cabernet Sauvignon from four appellations: Mt. Veeder, Howell mountain, Spring mountain and Diamond mountain.
The wine was 15 years old but still tasted fresh: ripe cherry, redcurrant, cinnamon, tarragon, ceder, pencil, violet, toffee and dried meat.
Tannin was high but soft and round, and it had long finish.
Complex and amusing. It was a very, very good wine.
You can drink now, and I liked how it tasted now, but I got the impression that this wine could age longer.
I would like to know how it will taste like 5 years later.
This is the problem of opening a bottle of wine: you won't know when to drink until you try it.
Best way to figure out is to purchase a case and open every year, but I'm not one of the lucky people who can afford to be a collector.
I just have to learn how to judge, and these great wines motivate me to learn (because I don't have extra wines to open at the wrong time!) .
