Lokoya is a premium Napa Valley producer founded in 1995 by Jess Jackson, dedicated exclusively to crafting single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon from high-elevation mountain sites. The winery focuses on four renowned appellations - Howell Mountain, Mount Veeder, Spring Mountain, and Diamond Mountain - each offering distinct soil compositions, elevations, and microclimates that shape the wines’ identity.

Vineyards are located above the fog line, where cooler temperatures, volcanic soils, and low yields contribute to concentration, structure, and natural acidity. Winemaking follows a minimal-intervention philosophy, with native yeast fermentation and no fining or filtration, allowing each site to express itself without stylistic influence.

The wines are typically powerful and structured, with firm tannins and layered profiles of blackcurrant, blackberry, violet, graphite, and mineral notes. Despite their intensity, they retain precision and balance, reflecting both site and disciplined vinification.

These Cabernets are built for long-term aging, often requiring significant time in bottle to reach full complexity and integration. Production is limited, reinforcing a focus on detail and quality.

Lokoya has established itself among Napa Valley’s leading “cult” producers, known for wines that emphasize terroir, elevation, and longevity rather than immediate accessibility.
