ORGANIC FARMING, APPELLATION, AND VINEYARD
We began farming our estate vineyards organically in 2018, reached certification in 2023, and are now approaching
regenerative accreditation. Lokoya strives to be a model for interacting with the earth synergistically. Techniques
such as no-till, sheep grazing, and compost application also protect our vines’ health and resilience, and strikingly
intensify the effects of mountain winegrowing for extraordinary expression of place.
Diamond Mountain overlooks the town of Calistoga in the northern reaches of Napa Valley and is part of the
Mayacamas Mountains which frame the western edge of the valley. The Diamond Mountain District Cabernet
Sauvignon is sourced from a selection of blocks on three vineyards: the estate-owned Rhyolite Ridge (1,200 feet)
and Wallis vineyards (1,500 feet), as well as the Andrew Geoffrey Vineyard (1,800 feet). Situated above the fog line,
the vineyards experience cooler days and warmer nights with less temperature variation than on the northern valley
floor. High elevation, poor soils and a moderate climate yield full-bodied wines that show rich fruit flavors and
notes of dark chocolate with relatively soft tannins.
WINEMAKER COMMENTS
“In 1868, Jacob Schram planted the first small vineyard on the slopes of one of the northernmost mountains in
Napa Valley. The predominantly volcanic soils had bits of obsidian and rhyolite glass intertwined with the general
loam, and thus the area became known as Diamond Mountain. This AVA is a bit warmer than other mountains, and
one of the first to shed the daily fog. Lokoya celebrates this terroir through a 100% Cabernet Sauvignon offering
that in 2021 bursts with huckleberry, ripe blackberry, graphite, high-cacao chocolate, and pipe tobacco, together
building great depth framed by lush tannins.”
— CHRISTOPHER CARPENTER, Winemaker

Lokoya is a collection of four distinct Cabernet Sauvignons from four of Napa Valley’s most celebrated mountain appellations. These wines are 100 percent Cabernet Sauvignon, fermented with native yeast, and bottled unfined and unfiltered—resulting in the purest expression of place. They are powerful wines that reflect the intense individuality of each mountain.

“I couldn't imagine a more majestic, regal wine. This beauty’s saturated purple hue is followed by an incredible
array of ripe black fruits, smoked tobacco, loamy earth, lavender, and graphite. Winemaker Chris Carpenter has
hit an undeniable home run with his 2021s, and this is unquestionably one of the legendary wines in the vintage.
Full-bodied and massively concentrated, with velvety tannins and remarkable purity, it will be drinkable with just
4-5 years of bottle age and evolve for 30-40 years in cold cellars.”

Shipping & Delivery Policy

Our Shipping & Delivery Policy

Yiannis Wine ships orders through FedEx. The shipping fees vary depending on where in the U.S your shipment is going. For any questions or concerns regarding shipment pricing and restrictions please feel free to contact us directly. We are able to ship to all but the following states: Utah, South Dakota, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Mississippi, Kentucky, Delaware, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts. With some of these states, for example Alabama, we are able to ship to an ABC store nearest to you.

It is rare to have a shipment damaged during shipping, however, in the event you do receive a damaged delivery, please let us know. We will need pictures and proof of damage so that we can resolve your claim. Damaged claims will not be accepted without proof. We will replace the wine or issue a credit. The choice is yours!

Deliveries that contain alcohol REQUIRE AN ADULT SIGNATURE. You must be 21 or older to purchase and accept said deliveries.

We cannot ship to PO Boxes, APO/FPO addresses, or internationally.

Shipping fees are not refundable under any circumstances.

There is an additional charge to re-route orders already in transit.

Some items are removed from original packaging, and placed in protective shipping containers to ensure safe delivery.

While most orders are shipped the day they are placed. The demand for limited supplies will occasionally deplete our stock of a paticular product, in this case it will generally take an additional 1 - 2 business days to receive the product and fufill the order.

Although it is rare, if there was a packing error, we would like to resolve it for you! In the event that we shipped an incorrect item, we may ask you to hold on to those items and the exsisting packaging so that we can arrange for a return pick up. If you find that items are missing from your order, we are happy to assist you in reshipping the missing items or processing a credit for the missing item/items. We will provide a return label for incorrect items and credit will be processd upon the return of the item to the warehouse. Reshipment of the correct items will be at no extra charge.

Occasionally a chosen vintage of a wine may sell out or be replaced by a new release after your order is placed. Bottles of wine that are under $20, will not hold up an order and we will simply automatically substitute the wine with the comparable vintage. Please be assured that we will only substitute with a vintage for the same wine. Wine that is valued more than $20 per bottle, we will attempt to contact the customer. After two attempts, the available vintage will be automatically shipped out. (The return policy of $15 return shipping costs, and 15% restocking fee will be enforced.)

Yiannis Wine will not be held liable for damages to orders due to weather conditions during shipping. Potential exposure to extreme heat or cold may damage items during shipping. As we can not be held responsible for products damaged due to weather, we suggest you choose FedEx Express to ship your items and/or add ice packs to your order (during extreme heat) to help prevent damages. We can also place your orders on weather hold until weather conditions improve. Wine is usually fine if it is exposed to some heat (as that is the way wine is made.....Heated so the yeast is activated). If your wine is warm, please place them in a cool, dark room so the wine can "settle."

Most returns will be accepted, but ALL bottles must be returned to get credit. A half bottle or empty bottle of something that did not taste GOOD is fine to return, but the customer will not receive full credit if the bottle is not included.

Sometimes an order is returned to our warehouse after several delivery attempts at the address provided by the customer. We are happy to reship the order however, reshipment fees will apply. Please contact us and we will assist you with the reshipment arrangements.

We are happy to assist with any returns for items purchased that you no longer want or need. Please let us know and we will arrange for the return and issue a credit or refund for your returned items, less the return shipping and handling charges.

We offer some of the most diverse wines in the business, and we are happy to help you choose wines and provide recommendations by our sommeliers if you desire. Everyone has different tastes and Yiannis Wine will not be held responsible for customer choice. While ratings, testimonials, and reviews may influence your decision, the ultimate judgement is yours.
