Lokoya

TL;DR

  • Cute for pictures: 5/5

  • QPR: 4/5

  • Main varietals: Cabernet Sauvignon

  • Tasting fee: $200, waived with purchases/for allocation memberes

Lokoya was such a special tasting experience. Not just because of the quality of their wines but the property, tasting room set up, and thoughtfully curated wine flight with snack pairing were all amazing. Definitely a luxury experience given the price tag but their wines sell for $300+ so tasting through 4 different wines + Chardonnay almost pays itself if you have been curious about their wines!

4 wines in the tasting flight are all 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, each from a distinct mountain appellation in Napa. There are 5 Mountain Appellations in Napa and believe Lokoya is the only winery that produces from all 4 of them: Diamond Mountain, Mt Veeder, Howell Mountain, and Spring Mountain.

Tasting starts with a glass of Chardonnay from Howell Mountain (rare for Chardonnays), that’s not overly buttery or oaky.
