Opened this magnum for Christmas dinner. The first La Jota vintage finished by renowned winemaker Christopher Carpenter (Cardinale, Lokoya). Large format aging beautifully. Round tannins, dark fruit, and earth. — 8 years ago

This one I felt was missing something. I expect something with this label to dominate and compared to what else was there tonight, it was just rather timid. Still had some rather nice black fruits on the nose and on the palate, but thankfully this one wasn't mine. A little flat in the middle. Nice blackberry nose and palate. The finish is a little on the stiff side. I just think this one needs another 2-3 years in the bottle for it to wake back up again. I think it was in a funky place. Very enjoyable and I would definitely not snub this one if it was the only one on the table (quite the opposite, actually). This one tasted with a 2012 Pott Franc, a 2014 Bevan Ontogeny, a 1997 Lokoya Diamond Mtn, and a Barnett 2010 Rattlesnake Hill Cab. Nice wine.....I just think it would be better on another day. — 8 years ago

Quite dark colored. Young nose with fruits, spices, fresh grass and strength can be felt. On the palate it’s balanced between the fruit flavors and the oak well integrated by the way, long finish and no heaviness. Excellent (91) — 10 years ago

Tasted blind. Dark ruby, looks young but nose says a little age. Rich nose of dark fruit, herbs and menthol. Powerful in the mouth. Guessed 95 Cal Cab. Great wine. Still primary. — 8 years ago

Another example of a young Napa cab that is open for business and shouting delicious from the rooftop. In the past I've tasted young at the winery and then I let it sit in my cellar for a good long time. My head is turning and I'm coming around to the joys of youth. Like the 2013 Lokoya I had recently this was singing. Smooth entry, deep dark expressive fruit, graphite, long beautiful finish. Appreciated @Michael Meyer — 8 years ago
