  On the elegant side of Napa and for Lokoya. Dark fruit, crushed rock and graphite nose. Oak is fully integrated. Black and blue fruits on the palate. Velvety tannins which have softened quite a bit. Definitely my preferred rendition of the Lokoya portfolio.

  Had to open this on Bday #40. Incredible and complex nose of graphite, minerals, black fruits, earl grey tea, mountain earthiness, green olives and black licorice. Incredible x 2 on the palate as well. Similar notes and flawless balance adding some crushed floral notes, meatiness, savoriness and dark fruits. Ripe tannins, great structure and super long finish!!

  Lokoya is my wife’s favorite wine maker , I decanted it for 7 hours , the nose was perfect smelled like rose petals and fruit forward .the finish was medium and sticks to the tongue for quite bit , well balanced from start to finish
  I have one more bottle I would hold it for next 5 years .

  My friend Johnny decanted this beautiful bottle for 7 hours. Nose of roses and bright fruits nose. Well balanced juice. Beautiful taste and medium finish. Smooth and balanced. Drink now with a long decant. Should hold up for 10+ years.

  Excellent. Not quite to up to the standard set by the Howell, though a wonderful wine.
