the palate is quite austere

serious and youthfully austere finish makes clear that this is definitely built-to- age

damson plum and cherry fruit lined with plum pit

but it is swathed in copious tobacco-drenched black fruit and a superb line of acidity

violet candy and smoky minerals show excellent clarity and spicy lift

Lokoya, Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon Brut Zero the palate is quite austereLots of pine forest, savory herbs, California bay leaf, and both black and blue fruits emerge from the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain. Its another full bodied, singular wine from Chris thats perfectly balanced, with beautiful concentration and the purity and balance thats the hallmark of this great vintage. Short term cellaring will be the name of the game here and it will be long lived. Anticipated maturity, 2021 2046
