Lail Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc Blueprint Napa Valley 2024

“Lail Blueprint Sauvignon Blanc 2024 is sourced from sites in Yountville, Atlas Peak, and Coombsville. Fermented in French oak (35% new) and aged for seven months sur lie in the same barrels. This is an exceptional wine in 2024, bursting from the glass with white flowers, jasmine and lime blossom, alongside lemon–lime cltrus, crunchy pear and apple. It carries scintillating acid tension through a stony, mineral finish. Long and lean, yet with pleasing mid-palate weight and depth, and plenty of tension on the lasting finish.”

“A distinctive white, with a mix of crisp, mouthwatering lemon curd and fresh nectarine that mingles with richer tones of marmalade, lemon meringue and beeswax notes, plus hints of orange blossoms and lanolin. The texture is creamy and lush, with fresh, vibrant acidity that lingers. Drink now through 2036. 1,008 cases made.”

“Unlike the single-site Georgia bottling, Lail's 2024 Sauvignon Blanc Blueprint is sourced from multiple Napa Valley vineyards. Barrel-fermented and finished in stainless steel, there's a bit less complexity and density than the top wine, but it's still an excellent effort. Hints of struck match and redcurrants accent pink grapefruit, while the medium- to full-bodied palate is silky, focused and long. This is a fine value.”

“Bright, minerally and citrus-driven, with aromas of lemons, citrus blossoms, crushed stones and minerals. The palate is mid-weighted, textural and rounded, with fine acidity. Made from 100% sauvignon blanc and fermented in 35% new French oak. Drink or hold.”
