Winemaker Notes

Blueprint Sauvignon Blanc is Lail Vineyards’ 21st Century interpretation of this classic varietal. A vibrant, flavorful wine meant for early release and enjoyment, it is the darling of a broad audience. The wine is produced from outstanding vineyards by our critically acclaimed winemaker, Philippe Melka. The name “Blueprint” is a salute to Jon Lail’s highly regarded architectural design achievements in the wine world.
Blueprint Sauvignon Blanc 2017 has enticing aromas of white peach, nectarine, honeysuckle, lemon/lime, and anise. It has that classic varietal energy and nerve, both vibrant and racy. Flavors of pie crust, vanilla, honeydew melon and Bartlett pear add intrigue and complexity. This is a beautiful and dynamic vintage for this special wine.

About Lail

Robin Daniel Lail’s heritage began in 1879 with the founding of Inglenook Vineyards by her great -granduncle, the iconic Captain Gustave Niebaum.  By the early 1890s, this brilliant man’s obsession for achieving the pinnacle of excellence earned Inglenook wines the status of being considered by many as the finest produced in the country.
