Lail Sauvignon Blanc Napa Blueprint 2021
Details
95 Points | CG
“An altogether exquisite Sauvignon Blanc that exhibits great range and depth with a marvelous sense of crafted composure, the latest from Lail is among the more sophisticated examples to be had and is, at once, both rich and wonderfully nuanced. If, on the one hand, a generous and involving wine at the moment, it is, on the other, one that has an unmistakable sense of as-yet-untapped reserve that makes us ardent believers in its future. Drink it now if you choose, and you will not be disappointed, but know that it has tremendous potential for becoming even better with time. It is a collectible keeper that will not reach its best until another four or five years have passed.” - Connoisseurs’ Guide to California Wine
Winemaker Notes
“Blueprint Sauvignon Blanc 2021 proves the old adage that smaller is often better. Although yields were less than 50% of normal, the quality in 2021 was exceptional. It shows layered aromas of apricot, tangerine and orange blossoms. The texture is rich with flavors of golden berries, grapefruit, guava and passionfruit. It is delightfully crisp and vibrant, yet with an extra dimension of complexity and varietal typicity. The oak adds special notes of vanillin and brioche. This is a dazzling showing for Blueprint Sauvignon Blanc.” - Philippe Melka & Maayan Koschitzky
