Howell Mountain typically yields the most powerful of Lokoya's four mountain wines: dense, mineral and built for long ageing, from volcanic soils at high altitude.

The wine house

Lokoya

Napa Valley

Lokoya is unique in its conception: rather than a single vineyard, the house makes four separate Cabernet Sauvignons, each from a different Napa mountain appellation: Mount Veeder, Howell Mountain, Diamond Mountain District and Spring Mountain District. In doing so, winemaker Chris Carpenter shows how dramatically the character of the same grape can differ purely according to the mountain on which it grows. The wines are bottled unfined and unfiltered, and fermented with the grapes' own wild yeasts. Carpenter knows the vineyards so intimately that for Lokoya he sometimes selects just a handful of rows from a specific block. Worth knowing: the four Lokoya Cabernets come from elevations between 1,100 and 2,500 feet, mountain terrain that is rare anywhere in the world for Cabernet Sauvignon of this calibre.
