Lail Vineyards 'Blueprint' Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 750ml

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.

Aromas of blue and black fruit with undertones of cocoa, graphite, violets, potpourri and spices. The palate is medium- to full-bodied with a silky texture and fine tannins, showing black olives, dried herbs and an earth-driven finish. Nicely balanced and fresh, with early-drinking appeal. Drink or hold.

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.

It's rich, medium to full-bodied, has a round, layered mouthfeel, and sweet tannins.

The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Blueprint, Robin Lail's entry-level Cabernet, is a total knockout. Racy and supple, with gorgeous fruit, the 2022 offers notable appeal. Succulent dark cherry, plum, mocha, new leather and licorice build effortlessly. Soft, plush contours wrap it all together in style. The 2022 is pure pleasure.
