Napa royalty at a working price. Lail's Blueprint Cabernet is made by Philippe Melka and Maayan Koschitzky, two of the valley's most sought-after winemakers, from fruit spanning Rutherford, Coombsville, Oakville, Howell Mountain, Yountville, Calistoga and Stags Leap District. The 2021 runs 97% Cabernet Sauvignon with 3% Petit Verdot, aged 18 months in 50% new French oak, and earned 94 points from the Wine Advocate. It drinks like bottles twice the price. Anniversary dinners, big steaks, serious gifts.

Dark ruby with purple edges. Boysenberry, black cherry and blackberry puree layered with cocoa, black olive and sage. Full and polished, plush structure, long dark-fruited finish.

Classic matches for Cabernet Sauvignon: Ribeye off the grill, lamb chops, aged cheddar, a rainy night and a good movie.

Blueprint pulls from vineyards across seven Napa sub-appellations and leans hardest on Rutherford. Philippe Melka and Maayan Koschitzky handle the winemaking for Lail Vineyards.
