Score 96/100 · Drink 2018-2048, Jeb Dunnuck, Dec 2017

The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Diamond Mountain is the most approachable, sexy and opulent of the 2014s and offers a gorgeous perfume of red and black currants, Asian spices, sandalwood, and white chocolate. This is a ripe, huge wine, yet it stays beautifully balanced and elegant, with no weight or rusticity, and it picks up a beautiful minerality with time in the glass. It's already impossible to resist yet is going to keep for three decades. Made by winemaker Chris Carpenter and focusing all on Mountain terroirs, I find the wines from Lokoya to be some of the most compelling, singular, and awesome wines made in the Valley. Unfortunately, the prices are ridiculous and beyond the means of most, myself included.

The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Diamond Mountain displays the saturated black purple color from this site. Offering an incredible nose of volcanic ash, charcoal embers, blackberry, cassis and spice, dense, superb, full body, and a multi-layered richness, this wine is just sensational. The silky tannins only add to its up-front appeal. Drink it now and over the next 25-30 years.
