Description
The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Blueprint is fantastic. Inky black fruit, chocolate, new leather, spice, lavender and menthol fill the layers beautifully. In the glass, the 2018 is rich and generous, but also has great freshness and verve. It is a great wine in its price range.

About Lail Vineyards
Robin Daniel Lail’s legacy began in 1879 with the founding of Inglenook Vineyards by her great-great-uncle, the iconic Captain Gustav Niebaum. By the early 1890s, this brilliant man’s obsession with achieving the pinnacle of excellence had led Inglenook wines to be regarded by many as the finest produced in the country. The determination to achieve excellence continued in the decades following Niebaum’s death in 1908, culminating in the three decades following the repeal of Prohibition under the meticulous, passionate stewardship of John Daniel, Jr., Robin’s father. The collection of Cabernets that emerged from his years as owner are still celebrated today as some of the finest red wines in the world.
Although Inglenook was sold in 1964, the passion for winemaking has not gone away. Robin inherited her father’s respect for tradition. Today, her family honors his legacy with their tireless pursuit of producing wines that are unparalleled. Today, the Lail family strives to produce Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc of extraordinary elegance and brilliance.

Composed of 95% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Petit Verdot, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Blueprint was aged 18 months in French oak (50% new). Deep garnet-purple in color, it delivers intense, wonderfully pure notes of crushed black currants, blackberries and black raspberries with suggestions of candied violets, charcoal and tobacco leaf with a waft of bay leaves. The medium to full-bodied palate is packed with crunchy black berry flavors, supported by approachable, grainy tannins and lovely freshness, finishing long and fruity. 3,215 cases were made.

Medium-to full-bodied with notes of dark fruit, berries, fresh herbs, menthol and ink. The palate is savory and dry with an ink feel and firm tannins that will be benefit from aging. Long,elegant finish. Try after 2024.

The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Blueprint is fabulous. Inky dark fruit, chocolate, new leather, spice, lavender and menthol fill out the layers beautifully. In the glass, the 2018 is rich and generous, yet it also possesses terrific freshness and plenty of verve. It is a superb wine in its price range, or any price range, for that matter.

96 Points “From a range of sites and expertly blended by Philippe Melka and his team, this wine has 5% Petit Verdot and spent 18 months in French oak, half of it new. Black olive, pencil shaving, sage and cedar provide a savory context against which concentrated black cherry and plum play. Coffee makes an appearance on the finish.” 94 Points —Virginie Boone, Wine Enthusiast
94 Points “As with the whites, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Blueprint is a larger production release that sports a dense purple color as well as classic Cabernet notes of blue and black fruits, green tobacco, graphite, and spring flowers. With a more fruit-forward style, it’s still rich, medium to full-bodied, has classic tannins, and is a seriously good bottle of wine.” —Jeb Dunnuck, jebdunnuck.com
