S. Keyes Vineyard on Howell Mountain, the 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain is pushing perfection. Its incredibly opaque color is followed by notes of lead pencil shavings, mulberry, blackberry and dark raspberry fruit, some background oak and minerality, and profound richness in a full-bodied, multi-dimensional style. It is gorgeously ripe, and sexy already, with a lush and voluptuous texture. Drink it over the next 25+ years.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #222223;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #9f250d;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJeb Dunnuck:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain is flat-out sensational and literally jumps out of the glass. Blackcurrants, crème de cassis, bay leaf, scorched earth, graphite and kiss of spring flower nuances give way to a powerful, concentrated, yet ethereal 2014 that glides across the palate. It's one of the more structured, tannic wines from Chris and really need 3-4 years or cellaring to shine, but it's going to evolve beautifully.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eProducer Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\nLokoya Winery is a premium wine producer of Napa Valley, concentrating on wines made from Cabernet Sauvignon. Total production each vintage is limited and noted American critic Robert Parker has regularly dished out 100-point scores for the wines. Both of these factors have cemented Lokoya's cult status and have led to some very high prices. Lokoya produces four varietal Cabernet Sauvignon wines, sourced from distinct hillside sites on Howell Mountain, Mount Veeder, Spring Mountain and Diamond Mountain. Each of the four is vinified in the same way with the intention being to showcase the terroir of each site. The wines are fermented with native yeasts and are aged in French oak for 18-22 months prior to being bottled unfined and unfiltered. The Mount Veeder property sits at 1800 feet (550 meters) above sea level and has distinct volcanic soils, which contribute a strong mineral character in the wine. The Howell Mountain property at 1900ft (580m) above sea level has a mix of sandstone, red clay, and conifer biomatter soils. It creates a dense wine with a dark fruit and a herbaceous profile. Across the valley, the Spring Mountain property sits at 1600ft (490m) above sea level with sedimentary soils. The wines from this property tend to have a more floral quality. Finally, Diamond Mountain in the northern part of Napa Valley ranges in altitude from 1000-1800ft (300-550m), with a mix of volcanic and loam soils. The tannins found in this wine tend to be softer than some of Lokoya's other offerings. The winery was founded in 1995 by Jess Jackson of Jackson Family Wineries, and is named for the Native American tribe that inhabited what is now Mount Veeder in the Mayacamas Mountain range on the western side of Napa Valley.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"CaskCartel.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43331474489482,"sku":null,"price":1299.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0050\/2395\/7103\/files\/17_6ae85364-c35e-47fb-8917-6a28b121ffd6.jpg?v=1692288893","url":"https:\/\/caskcartel.com\/es\/products\/2014-lokoya-winery-howell-mountain-cabernet-sauvignon","provider":"CaskCartel.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
