Lokoya Mt Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Cabernet Sauvignon$350

"The 2021 Lokoya Mt. Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon is a powerful and prestigious red wine sourced from the high-elevation volcanic soils of the Veeder Peak Vineyard in Napa Valley. This vintage offers intense aromas of black currants, crushed stones, violets, and black truffle, reflecting its unique mountain terroir. On the palate, it is full-bodied and robust with a dense core of dark fruit, vibrant acidity, and massive yet refined tannins that provide exceptional structure. Built for long-term aging, this 100% Cabernet Sauvignon is best enjoyed between 2026 and 2052, making it a highly collectible choice for connoisseurs."

The Full Tasting Note

How this bottle showed at our tasting bench

Nose

Black currants, crushed stone, and violets with a savory whisper of black truffle — the wildest and most mineral of the Lokoya bouquets.

Palate

Full-bodied and robust; a dense core of dark fruit is framed by massive yet refined tannins and the vibrant acidity of volcanic altitude.

Finish

Powerful and stony, dark fruit and truffle echoing at length.

What We Love

  • Mt. Veeder's cool, rugged slopes yield the most structured wine in the Lokoya portfolio
  • Truffle-and-stone complexity beyond simple fruit power
  • Built for a 2052 horizon — heirloom-grade Cabernet

What to Know

  • The firmest tannins of the quartet — this one genuinely needs its 2026-plus window
  • $350 for austerity-forward mountain Cab is a collector's proposition

How It Compares

Head to head with the Howell Mountain bottling, the Mt. Veeder trades scorched-earth savagery for stony, truffled reserve — the introvert and the extrovert of Napa's high country. Read our Lokoya Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 review →
