"Lail's 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Blueprint is a fine value, sometimes available locally (in Napa) at a discount to the quoted suggested retail price. Sophisticated aromas of crushed stone and dried herbs accent mixed red and black cherries on the nose, plus there's an appealing, savory hint of dusty earth. Medium to full-bodied, the wine exhibits a silky feel and mouthwatering acids on the palate." —Wine Advocate

"The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Blueprint, Robin Lail's entry-level Cabernet, is a total knockout. Racy and supple, with gorgeous fruit, the 2022 offers notable appeal. Succulent dark cherry, plum, mocha, new leather and licorice build effortlessly. Soft, plush contours wrap it all together in style. The 2022 is pure pleasure." —Antonio Galloni, Vinous

"The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Blueprint is a brilliant value based on 97% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Petit Verdot that’s sourced from throughout the valley. Its deep ruby/purple hue is followed by classic Napa Cabernet ripe blackberry, blueberry, chocolate, and spicy, leafy herb-like nuances. It's rich, medium to full-bodied, has a round, layered mouthfeel, and sweet tannins." —Jeb Dunnuck
