Aromas of red fruit, crushed stone, spice, and wintergreen. On the palate, freshness and acidity with a medium bodied profile and silky smooth tannins. The finish is medium with acidic lift. This wine will continue to improve in the cellar as it displays a well balanced profile.

Initially on the nose this wine if full of petrol (TDN) compound. With time in the glass, the petrol aroma dissipates into beautiful ripe lemon, pineapple, and honey. On the palate, this wine is elegant, medium bodied, and displays balance. The finish is long and satisfying with acidic lift reminiscent of lime zest.

Aromas of pineapple and lemon custard. On the palate, citrus fruit, acidity, and lift. The finish has length with lingering acidity. 2019 was the best vintage in recent memory with higher alcohol and more depth. This is more similar to the 2020 vintage. It could benefit from another year or two in the cellar.

Improved from last bottle. Aromas of cherry and vanilla. On the palate, balance with acidity, tannin, and oak. The finish is spice, acidic lift, and a faint sour note. A decent bottle for the price.

The nose is rich with red fruit, menthol, spice, and crushed stone. On the palate, fresh strawberries, gentle acidity, and a hint of vanilla. The finish delivers with dusty tannin and mouthwatering acidity. This wine demonstrates elegance and finesse. The acidity will carry this wine for years in the cellar.

8/30/2023 - Healdsburg82 Likes this wine: 95 points

Aromas of dried cherries and vanilla. On the palate silk-smooth and beautifully integrated tannin with acidity lingering in the background. The finish is surprisingly short, yet satisfying. This wine has aged beautifully, gracefully, and it shows impeccable fruit. I would not aged this vintage for any longer.

8/6/2023 - Healdsburg82 Likes this wine: 94 points

Aromas of dark cherries and herbs. On the palate, medium bodied with fruit and savory notes. Acidity gives the wine lift and tannic structure in the background. Finish is medium. This needs another 5-10 years in the cellar! It was outstanding after a few hours in the decanter.

2014 Lokoya Cabernet Sauvignon Mt. Veeder

Absolutely beautiful with pure expression of fruit. This is not overly rich and extracted. It is about balance! On the nose, wonderful aroma of cassis and vanilla. This wine on the palate is a masterpiece with harmony of fruit, oak, tannin, and acidity. The finish is satisfying with length. It has a nice acidic backbone to last for another decade or two in bottle, however I think this is drinking perfect right now!

Aromas of ripe fruit, tobacco, and spice. On the palate, balanced acidity, tannin, and pepper. Finish is medium with black peppper and dryness. A classic Zinfandel! Honestly, I prefer the field blends from Ridge like Geiserville or Lytton Springs.

Initially strong aroma of sulfur. This wine needs time to breathe! With air the sulfur aroma is toned down to match stick, cherry, and oak. On the palate, acidity up front, dried cherry on the mid palate, and finishes with dusty tannins. Inexpensive super tuscan.

On the nose this wine is overwhelming vegetal. On the palate, dark silky fruit with complete integration of acid and tannin. The finish is short. Overall, the palate is beautiful, however I have mixed feelings with the overwhelming vegetal aromas. This is definitely a crowd pleaser and meant to be consumed young.

Aromas of tobacco with a hint of cherry fruit. On the palate, bright acidity, and large amount of grippy tannins. This wine has everything to age gracefully. It’s still very young and needs more cellar time.

On the nose there is an abundance of dried fruit and alcohol. However, the alcohol is not off putting. The palate is where the magic is. Acid, tannin, and secondary fruit flavors all in harmony. Rounded and soft with complete integration. The finish is long and satisfying.

While this bottle may be past it’s prime, it was able to demonstrate the impeccable quality of the fruit and winemaker.
