Lokoya Cabernet Sauvignon Mt. Veeder 2022

100 Points | CWA
“The 2022 Lokoya Mt. Veeder Cabernet is nothing short of immaculate. From the first swirl, it unleashes a brilliant spectrum of bright, high-toned blue and red fruit wrapped in mountain spices and cool-bay laurel. The aromatics alone feel like a masterclass in purity and lift. On the palate, the wine is gorgeous, explosive and effortlessly refined. A beautiful, silken texture carries waves of vibrant fruit, all supported by precisely tuned acidity that gives the wine a weightlessness. The structure is impressive with fine, powdery tannins that frame the wine’s core satisfying grip. What makes this vintage extraordinary is the balance of energy and depth: the fruit is bright and crystalline, the spice is vivid, and the overall composition feels perfectly aligned, promising decades of evolution. A truly gorgeous, wow-inducing Mt. Veeder Cabernet—and one of Lokoya’s most thrilling achievements to date.” - California Wine Advisors
