Kendall-Jackson

Lokoya Cabernet Sauvignon 2019, 75cl

Napa Valley, California, USA

Kendall-Jackson

Description:
Made exclusively from Cabernet Sauvignon grown at high elevation on Spring Mountain, this wine expresses intensity and character. Fermented with native yeasts, bottled unfined and unfiltered, it captures the pure essence of this rugged eastern slope of the Mayacamas range.

The poor soils, steep vineyard terraces and wide diurnal shifts of this sub-region shape a floral profile, deep red fruit and smooth tannins in a bold yet balanced structure.

The 2019 vintage shows intense notes of raspberry jam, Italian-style preserved cherries, and cherry blossom. The palate is deep and vibrant, carried by fresh acidity and finishing with sweet, ripe tannins. Layers of black plum, graphite, bouquet garni and tobacco add complexity and length.

An extremely limited and highly rated edition (98 pts), with outstanding ageing potential.

Jackson Family Wines

We see possibilities in a handful of earth. We have been a family-owned business since we planted our first vine in 1974. Wine is our passion, and from this passion arises our multigenerational vision to cultivate wines of distinction, conduct business ethically, and empower our people.

It has been a labor of love to care for and build our vineyards and estates. Inspired by the age-old principle that great wines can only come from great vineyards, we sought out the cool, coastal ridges around the world in search of some of the best vineyard land. Each of our wineries has its own fingerprint and style, driven by the terroir of our family-owned vineyards and the trust we have in our winemakers to pursue their philosophies for distinguished wines.

Mountains, hills, ridges, and benches. It is in these places that Jess Jackson, our husband, father, grandfather, and founder believed grew the finest grapes for the most exceptional wines in the world. It is here that we began our journey of wine, family, art, and responsible winemaking.

Jess Stonestreet Jackson passed away on April 21, 2011. Barbara Banke, Jess’ partner in life and in business, was named Chairman. Don Hartford was appointed Vice Chairman of the company.

All estate vineyards earn certification under the Certified California Sustainable Winegrowing (CCSW) program (2010), the company installs its first solar panels (2012), and collaborates on a pilot project with Tesla Energy (2015). The company is named Drinks Business Green Company of the Year (2013) and recognized with the EPA Green Power Leadership Awards (2013, 2016, 2018) and California Green Medal Leader Award (2016).

The family’s commitment to producing wines with a distinct sense of place continues with its first acquisitions in Oregon’s Willamette Valley (2013) and South Africa (2014).

Barbara Banke is the first woman to be named Wine Enthusiast’s Wine Personality of the Year (2012) and was honored with Wine Spectator’s Distinguished Service award (2017). Kendall-Jackson is named “2017 American Winery of the Year” by Wine Enthusiast. Katie Jackson is selected for Wine Enthusiast’s annual “40 under 40” list, highlighting those who are shaping the wine industry (2018).

As the family grows, the children and grandchildren of our founders take their place in the company’s leadership, charting a path for the future.

Currently, the company produces wine in Napa, Sonoma, Mendocino, Monterey, Santa Barbara, Oregon, Australia, Chile, France, Italy, and South Africa. It has several internationally renowned brands such as Kendall-Jackson, La Crema, Capensis…
