WINEMAKER 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.”—Philippe Melka & Maayan Koschitzky, winemakers

BLUEPRINT STORY

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.

WINERY STORY

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.
