Totally alluring and fabulous in 2023. Lifted black fruit leads, joined by pure brown spices of coriander and cumin, woven into a fine tapestry of lithe, velvety tannins that are perfectly integrated at this youthful stage. Ripe blue – black fruits mingle with a cocoa-powder character and dried violets on a lengthy, captivating finish. Lail Blueprint Cabernet Sauvignon 2023 is sourced from seven nested AVAs across 11 vineyards throughout Napa Valley. The blend includes 3% Petit Verdot and was aged for 17 months in French oak, 65% new. (JC)

The 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon Blueprint is a fabulous entry-level offering from Robin Lail. Dark, ample and seductive, the 2023 delivers on all fronts. Blackberry, graphite, dried herbs, leather and chocolate are all dialed up. Blueprint is a blend from some of the top sites in Napa Valley. It's one of the very best Napa Valley Cabernets in its price range. The 2023 is perhaps the best vintage of this bottling ever. (AG)

Lovely depth of flavor and fruit-driven freshness, with aromas of graphite, black olives, potpourri and spices. The palate is refined and pure, with a rounded, textural mouthfeel that leads to a savory, earth-driven finish. Drink or hold. (RM)

Deep purple and ruby-hued, the 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon Blueprint is sourced from a broad mix of sites across the valley, including Calistoga, Coombsville, Howell Mountain, Oakville, Rutherford, Stags Leap District, and Yountville. Based on 97% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Petit Verdot and aged 17 months in 65% new French oak, it offers deep blackcurrants, plums, chocolate, woodsmoke, and black cherry notes. It's medium to full-bodied, with spicy oak, a round, layered mouthfeel, and outstanding length. Drink 2025-2035.
