Robin Lail's 2016 Sauvignon Blanc Blueprint is bright, crisp and beautifully delineated. Lemon peel, grapefruit, white flowers and mint give the wine its sense of freshness and energy. Even so, the Blueprint has plenty of depth and textural richness.

Opening with fragrant lemon curd and warm pear notions with a sage, coriander seed and white pepper undercurrent, the 2016 Sauvignon Blanc Blueprint is medium-bodied with good concentration and an oily suggestion to the texture, finishing long and spicy.
The 2016 Sauvignon Blanc Blueprint is a barrel fermented white that stays clean, classy and crisp, with lots of juicy gooseberry, green citrus, and melon aromas and flavors. It’s certainly one of the better Sauvignon Blancs out there. Run by Robin Lail, with the winemaking handled by the incredibly talented Philippe Melka, Lail Vineyards has produced two beautiful 2015 Cabernet Sauvignons, with the Blueprint release being a terrific value as well. The top J. Daniel Cuvee is always 100% Cabernet Sauvignon and comes from sites in Howell Mountain, Oakville, and Dutch Henry Canyon. It’s a potentially legendary wine in the making in 2015. In addition to the reds, they fashion a beautiful Sauvignon Blanc that’s well worth checking out. I find most Sauvignon Blancs seemingly done as an afterthought in Napa, but that’s not the case here.
