When skydiving, there is a moment of pure adrenaline followed by a sense of floating and silence that is all-encompassing. The 2018 Lokoya Diamond Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon is much like that; it has a miasma of upfront flavor as an opening and follows with gentleness on the palate, without the need to pull the second chute. The slightest hint of fresh mint on the nose leads the way to focused blue fruit and semi-sweet chocolate on the palate. This wine shows a perfect acid balance and a gentle, elevated shale minerality.
