JEB DUNNUCK 100 POINTS - "Coming from the northern end of the appellation, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Diamond Mountain District is all varietal aged 22 months in 90% new oak, and I couldn't imagine a more majestic, regal wine. This beauty s saturated purple hue is followed by an incredible array of ripe black fruits, smoked tobacco, loamy earth, lavender, and graphite. Winemaker Chris Carpenter has hit an undeniable home run with his 2021s, and this is unquestionably one of the legendary wines in the vintage. Full-bodied and massively concentrated, with velvety tannins and remarkable purity, it will be drinkable with just 4-5 years of bottle age and evolve for 30-40 years in cold cellars."
ROBERT PARKER'S WINE ADVOCATE 97 POINTS - "A blend of fruit from the family-owned Rhyolite Ridge Vineyard and Wallis Vineyard, Lokoya's 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Diamond Mountain combines black cherries and cassis with bay leaf and sage. Full-bodied and supple, with some blueberry shadings on the mid-palate, this is generous, but it still has an underlying mountain structure and a long, dusty but mouthwatering finish."
