Lokoya, part of Jackson Family Wines, produces Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa's high-altitude mountain AVAs, with Mount Veeder being a key wine growing area since 1870. The cool climate here creates wines with concentrated flavours and exceptional structure. The 2019 Lokoya stands out, earning a perfect critic score and being compared to the legendary Château Latour - one of Bordeaux's finest. With fewer than 2,000 cases made, this wine offers top-tier quality and strong aging potential, making it a rare find with lasting value.

What the experts say about this wine

100
points

"Another riveting wine, the 2019 Mount Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon has a Château Latour-like stature and regalness, with full-bodied richness and incredible concentration, as well as structure, on the palate. Cassis, blueberry liqueur, lead pencil shavings, crushed stone, and graphite notes all define the nose, and it hits the palate with incredible power and opulence, yet stays pure, flawlessly balanced, and has a finish that won't quit. This is as brilliant as Cabernet gets, and Carpenter is clearly playing with the best in the business. Give bottles 4-5 years if you can and it will cruise for 30-40 years."

"Blackcurrant and graphite in a big way in the nose. Some asphalt and sweet tobacco, too. Full-bodied with a dense, velvety texture. Shows suppleness for such a big wine, with luxurious sensibility. Such fabulous length. Almost drinkable now, but four or five years of bottle age will bring this into its own. Try after 2026."

James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com

"Large-scaled but sleek in profile, with boysenberry, açaí and loganberry pâte de fruit notes that are brightly defined and inlaid with a violet, anise and graphite spine, which lets the fruit just sail through. Shows serious grip, too, but it's well-buried in the fruit. Best from 2024 through 2040. 1,696 cases made."

James Molesworth, Wine Spectator
