Lokoya Spring Mountain District Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

Lokoya’s 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Spring Mountain is a bit floral and herbal, with lovely bay leaf and sage nuances vaguely reminiscent of some Margaret River Cabernets. 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. Drink date: 2024-2040. Score – 98.
