Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, May 2022

Lokoya's 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Spring Mountain is a bit floral and herbal, with lovely bay leaf and sage nuances vaguely reminiscent of some Margaret River Cabernets. Ripe cassis and cherries round out the full-bodied...

The 2019 Lokoya Cabernet Sauvignon Spring Mountain District is a standout red wine from California’s North Coast, specifically the Spring Mountain District appellation in Napa. Crafted by the esteemed producer Lokoya, this wine is made entirely from Cabernet Sauvignon grapes and bottled with a cork closure. With an alcohol content of 15.1%, this red wine is both robust and complex, promising a rich tasting experience.

The 2019 vintage has received significant acclaim from several top wine critics. James Suckling, from jamessuckling.com, awarded this wine an impressive 98 points. He describes it as "an amazing young wine with blackcurrant, iodine, oyster shell and tile. Crushed stone, too." He praises its full-bodied nature, bright and linear profile, and the superb tannins that give it depth and intensity. Suckling suggests that this wine will benefit from four to five years of bottle age and recommends trying it after 2027.

Jeb Dunnuck, another respected critic, also gave this wine a 98-point score. According to Dunnuck, the wine boasts "a stunning bouquet of ripe red and black plums, graphite, bouquet garni, tobacco, and sappy flowers." He emphasizes its richness, full-bodied nature, and excellent balance. Dunnuck believes it shines for its complexity and nuance as much as for its power and richness, and he anticipates it will age well for 20-25 years.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate aligns with these high evaluations, also giving it 98 points. The review highlights the wine’s "floral and herbal" notes, with "bay leaf and sage nuances" reminiscent of Margaret River Cabernets. It describes the palate as a seamless blend of "velvet and silk," finishing long and slinky with soft, fine-grained tannins. This wine is made from fruit sourced from the Yverdon and Wurtele vineyards and aged in Sylvain barriques.

Wine Spectator and Vinous both awarded the wine 96 points. Wine Spectator notes its "dense black currant, plum and blackberry fruit flavors" and praises its "long iron spine" and "flashes of anise and violet." Vinous describes the wine as "the most elegant, nuanced wine in the Lokoya range," highlighting its bright red cherry, red plum, and floral top notes.

In summary, the 2019 Lokoya Cabernet Sauvignon Spring Mountain District is a highly acclaimed wine, celebrated for its complexity, balance, and aging potential. With multiple 96-98 point reviews, it stands out as a remarkable example of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon.
