Overview of the Wine
Our story began in 1879 when Robin Daniel Lail’s great-granduncle, Gustave Niebaum, pioneered fine winemaking in the Napa Valley when he founded Inglenook Winery. Inglenook was passed down to Robin’s grandfather and then to her father, John Daniel Jr., a true innovator and wine industry leader who produced legendary wines. In 1995, after years working with other Napa Valley icons (Robert Mondavi, Bill Harlan, Christian Mouiex), Robin’s dream of creating her own extraordinary wines set flight when she and her daughters, Erin and Shannon, assembled a multifaceted team of talent and set out on her own by launching Lail Vineyards. Today, the venture carries forward the stories and patina of over 135 years of winemaking into the 21st Century. The family continues its passionate quest to produce the very finest wines from the blend of its ingredients – the land, the seasons, the winemaking team, and the spirit of the generations who led the way.
In February 2019, Robin Lail was made the U.S. Representative to the Porto Protocol, a global initiative asking companies to demonstrate their leadership on climate action and share best practices. Our Blueprint wines celebrate these pioneers and architects of innovation for putting the health of our planet ahead of quarterly reports and the bottom line. At Lail Vineyards we invite you to do the same. Make a commitment. Inspire your neighbor.

Winemaker Tasting Notes
The 2022 Blueprint Cabernet Sauvignon is deep garnet with purple edges, revealing vibrant
aromas of black and Bing cherry and boysenberry. Flavors follow in step, adding blue and red
fruits with notes of cocoa, black olive and sage. It is richly-layered with wonderful freshness and
bright energy. Finely-balanced, long and immediately drinkable, this is fully representative of
the challenging but ultimately successful 2022 vintage.
93 Points - Wine Advocate
Sourced from 11 different sites in the Napa Valley, Lail's 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Blueprint is a fine value, sometimes available locally (in Napa) at a discount to the quoted suggested retail price. Sophisticated aromas of crushed stone and dried herbs accent mixed red and black cherries on the nose, plus there's an appealing, savory hint of dusty earth. Medium to full-bodied, the wine exhibits a silky feel and mouthwatering acids on the palate. Drink this easy-drinking vintage over the next decade or so.
92 Points - Jeb Dunnuck
The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Blueprint is a brilliant value based on 97% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Petit Verdot that’s sourced from throughout the valley. Its deep ruby/purple hue is followed by classic Napa Cabernet ripe blackberry, blueberry, chocolate, and spicy, leafy herb-like nuances. It's rich, medium to full-bodied, has a round, layered mouthfeel, and sweet tannins.
92 Points - Vinous
The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Blueprint is packed with fresh blueberry, lavender, cloves, licorice and chocolate. Juicy and medium in body, this flavorful, vibrant Cabernet delivers the goods. Savory and floral notes linger on the close. As always, the Blueprint is a blend taken from various sites.
