2013 Lokoya Howell Mountain

The Lokoya Howell Mountain 2013 is a striking representation of the terroir and craftsmanship of California's Howell Mountain region. With a deep ruby color, this wine exudes a sense of intensity and complexity from the first pour. On the nose, one is greeted with bold aromas of dark berries, black cherry, and a hint of tobacco, all beautifully intertwined with subtle nuances of oak and spice. On the palate, the wine reveals a full-bodied and velvety texture, with flavors of blackcurrant, plum, and dark chocolate, layered with notes of vanilla and licorice. The tannins are well-integrated, adding structure and depth to the wine's rich and opulent character. The finish is long and lingering, leaving a pleasant warmth and a touch of minerality. Crafted by the esteemed Jackson Family Wines in the outstanding 2013 vintage, this Lokoya Howell Mountain is a true gem that showcases the best of California winemaking.
