The 2018 Lokoya Diamond Mountain District Cabernet Sauvignon is a powerful yet remarkably structured Napa Valley Cabernet sourced from Diamond Mountain, one of the region’s most distinctive high-elevation growing areas. The nose is deep and concentrated, offering aromas of blackberry, cassis and dark cherry layered with notes of graphite, cedar, crushed rock and subtle baking spice.
On the palate, it is full-bodied and intensely focused, with firm yet polished tannins supporting dense flavours of blackcurrant, plum and dark chocolate. The mountain-grown fruit delivers impressive depth and concentration, while fresh acidity and mineral character provide balance and precision. The finish is long and complex, revealing lingering notes of dark fruit, spice and savoury earth.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding choice for collectors and Cabernet Sauvignon enthusiasts seeking a serious mountain-grown Napa Valley wine. Its structure and concentration make it an excellent match for premium steaks, slow-braised beef, venison or aged hard cheeses. While approachable with extended decanting, this wine is built for long-term cellaring and is expected to evolve beautifully over the next 15–25 years.
