Lokoya Mount Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon 2018
Surfers talk about the combination of force, sound, concentration, energy, exhilaration, and spiritual connectedness that comes from catching a great wave and riding it to completion. The 2018 Mount Veeder is Lokoya’s version of the perfect wave. With energy to spare on the uplifted palate and power and depth like no other, you’ll be stoked with every sip. This Cabernet Sauvignon shows lifted aromatics marked by Veeder floral notes. On the palate, it is evocative of Asian spice and blue fruit, with post-rain minerality. This wine is elegant with a backbone of tannin that goes on forever.
Made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Mount Veeder was aged in French oak barrels for 22 months, 94% new. Deep garnet-purple colored, it soars out of the glass with vivacious scents of black cherries, black raspberries and black currant pastilles, followed by nuances of pencil shavings, tilled earth, lilacs and underbrush plus a waft of crushed rocks. The full-bodied palate is taut, packed with muscular, impactful black fruits, featuring a rock-solid backbone of firm, grainy tannins, finishing with a whole firework display of earthy/minerally sparks. Give it a good 4-5 years in bottle and drink it for the next 25+ years.
