Crème de cassis, black raspberries, graphite, scorched earth, and some floral notes all define the nose, and it's full-bodied on the palate, with terrific purity, building, ripe tannins, bright acidity, and an undeniable sense of minerality on the finish. This rich, concentrated, structured 2019 warrants 5-6 years of bottle age and will be incredibly long lived.\u003cbr\u003eRating: 97+\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96pts Wine Advocate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Diamond Mountain is a blend of two parcels: Wallis and Rhyolite Ridge, with mainly volcanic soils. Scents of crushed stone, pencil shavings, cassis and cherries lead the way, while the palate is full-bodied but not overly ripe or broad, just finely honed, polished, silky and long, with a dusting of fine-grained tannins on the finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95pts Wine Spectator\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRumbles along with dark plum, black currant and blackberry reduction notes carried by a slightly chunky structure, with tar, dark tobacco and sweet bay leaf supporting the finish.

The predominantly volcanic soils had bits of obsidian and rhyolite glass intertwined with the general loam, and thus the area became known as Diamond Mountain. This AVA is a bit warmer than other mountains, and one of the first to shed the daily fog. Lokoya celebrates this terroir through a 100% Cabernet Sauvignon offering that in 2019 shows a burst of boysenberry, spearmint, and espresso bean, with high-note minerality and rounded yet firm tannins.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Southern Wine \u0026 Spirits","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54242255372652,"sku":null,"price":399.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2424\/3053\/files\/lokoya-diamond-mountain-cabernet-sauvignon-2019-750ml-888062.jpg?v=1787606062"},{"product_id":"lokoya-spring-mountain-cabernet-sauvignon-2019-750ml","title":"Lokoya Spring Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 - 750ml","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e98pts Decanter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntricate aromas of kirsch, tobacco, potpourri, pine forest, and smoky cedar. Massively powerful and concentrated dark fruit gives buoyancy to this brooding Cabernet. Firm, fine woody tannins lay a solid foundation for a wine that keeps giving through layers of wet river stones, underbrush, herbs, dried currants and walnut husks. A very precise wine with the freshness of a cool, crisp Spring Mountain morning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e98pts Jeb Dunnuck\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlso from two sites, the 2019 Spring Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon is all Cabernet Sauvignon aged in 87% new French oak. It's another deeply hued Cabernet revealing a stunning bouquet of ripe red and black plums, graphite, bouquet garni, tobacco, and sappy flowers. Rich, full-bodied, gorgeously balanced, and lengthy on the palate, it deserves 4-5 years of bottle age and will keep for 20-25 years. As with most Spring Mountain releases, it shines just as much for its complexity, nuance, and balance as its power and richness.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e98pts James Suckling\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is an amazing young wine with blackcurrant, iodine, oyster shell and tile. Crushed stone, too. Full-bodied, yet bright and linear, with great depth and intensity. Tensioned and formed with superb tannins. Framed and real. Speaks of the place.

Ripe cassis and cherries round out the full-bodied palate in a seamless combination of velvet and silk, finishing long and slinky, again marked by fine-grained, soft tannins. Fruit from two vineyards—Yverdon and Wurtele—goes into this wine, which aged in Sylvain barriques for their subtlety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96pts Wine Spectator\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeriously packed, with dense black currant, plum and blackberry fruit flavors embedded with prodigious grip, this manages to have a sleek and well-defined feel.
