Locked (and hopefully loaded), the Lokoya Mount Veeder ain't havin' any of your monkey business right now. This is a wig-donning, goggle glasses-wearing, dusty couch and moth balls-smelling…
It's been over two years since my last bottle. As others have mentioned, this still needs to sleep. However, it was still quite drinkable, delivering fairly lush and round black cherry and purple…
Black and red cherry, red and purple plum, muddled strawberry, cassis, rainbow peppercorn, and subtle bark saunter along the palate with the pleasantries that typify the 2014 vintage. Satisfying and…
Previous notes from last month still apply. Some air helped to round-out the texture and provide additional depth of flavor. By hour two it was delivering an especially gorgeous mix of creamy, ripe…
Pear, honeydew, white peach, and some yellow citrus. Smooth and round (especially for the varietal), with a silky mouthfeel and delicate grip. Seemingly lower in its display of acid and frame, but…
The optimist would say this wine is "in a transition phase," "still integrating," "of a particular style," or "a unique representation of the terroir."
For me, this little bugger did not want to budge one bit throughout consumption. Some tight and linear notes of red and black currant, black rock, cassis, bitter black cherry, and some vanilla laced…
Notes of red and black currant, black cherry, and black raspberry. Acid seemed a bit higher, with a more red fruit profile than the Bergfeld and Diamond served before this Veeder. A lot of tension…
Same as my notes six months ago. This was not served at the pickup, but instead at my house after having all of his wonderful Caberenet-blends. I wanted to close out the day with a final Pott wine of…
I couldn't agree more with Cristal2000's notes on this wine. From the first sip, you know this is a special wine. Still just a bit tight and wrapped up, but displaying that signature Mount Veeder…
Drank alongside a 2012 Insignia. Both were solid, but the Lokoya had a little more complexity and earth nuances (which seemed much more indicative of the 2010 vintage). The Insignia was plush and…
The best of the wines tasted from Boich, the Wall Road inched its way past the Howell Mountain Select. With its more enticing dark bramble berry fruits and elevated vivacity, the Wall Road came off…
The first of four wines poured. This was understandably tight and a little lithe for a California Syrah. Some of the mountain fruit was evident, with hints of bramble and minerality surrounding the…
Pleasant notes of lemongrass, light citrus oil, and hints of dry hay, stone, and vanilla. An easy drinker, but not especially complex or popping with any discernible personality.
