95 Points
Saturday, November 19, 2016 - Napa Valley Master Class with Robert Parker; 11/10/2016-11/20/2016 (Napa Valley): During a tasting session at Lokoya with the winemaker and commercial director. Expressive nose of dark fruit, lots of cassis, some smoke and meat. Big and bold wine here as well. Entry on the palate is great but then it starts drying out with the masses of tannins. Aroma: 97, Tannin: 93
PS: My summary for Lokoya is: The wines are really characterful and aromatic but the tannins are too rustic and lead to a drying finish of almost all the wines. Can they soften enough with time is the question.
