About the Winery:
Lail Vineyards was founded by Robin Daniel Lail who is as close as it gets to Napa Valley royalty, with a great-ancestor having founding Inglenook! After working as the personal assistant to her mentor, Robert Mondavi, for five years, Robin left in 1982 to co-found Dominus Estate with Christian Moueix. The following year she co-founded Merryvale Vineyards with Bill Harlan, serving as president for a decade, before finally launching on her eponymous venture, Lail Vineyards, with her two daughters in 1995. 

About this Wine:
In February 2019, Robin Lail was made the U.S. Ambassador to the Porto Protocol, a global initiative asking companies to demonstrate their leadership on climate action and share best practices. Our Blueprint wines celebrate these pioneers and architects of innovation for putting the health of our planet ahead of quarterly reports and the bottom line. At Lail Vineyards we invite you to do the same. Make a commitment. Inspire your neighbor. 

Tasting Notes

“Blueprint Sauvignon Blanc 2024 is bright, light yellow, and bursts forth with aromatics of guava, sweet pea, citrus peel and lemongrass. This is an intense wine, with great intensity and nerve. The texture is creamy and complex, with amazing cripsness and bold acidity. Fruit flavors include green apple, melon, Bosc pear, and a hint of pineapple. This is totally complete Blueprint Sauvignon Blanc, one of the best we have made.”— Philippe Melka & Maayan Koschitzky, Winemakers” —Philippe Melka, Winemaker

Ratings & Reviews

93 Points - James Suckling: 
"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." (Oct 2025)

92 Points - Vinous Media:
"Bright, crisp and inviting, the 2024 Sauvignon Blanc Blueprint is a delight. Lemon peel, sage, mint and tomato leaf top notes extend the long, sustained finish. The 2024 is flat-out delicious." - Antonio Galloni (Nov 2025)
