Lail Vineyards Description
Lail Vineyards, established by Robin Lail in 1995, is a renowned winery located in Napa Valley. It specializes in producing exceptional wines, with a particular focus on the classic Napa variety, Cabernet Sauvignon. The estate was founded by Robin Lail, whose father, John Daniel Jr., was the esteemed proprietor of Rutherford‘s famous Inglenook estate. Prior to starting her own label, Lail played a significant role in co-founding Dominus Estate and Merryvale Vineyards during the 1970s and 1980s.
The Howell Mountain vineyard, known as Mole Hill, spans an area of 1.2 hectares (3 acres). Situated at an elevation of 1700 feet (520m) above sea level, this west-facing vineyard boasts loam soils, making it an ideal terroir for viticulture.
The estate’s flagship wine, J. Daniel Cuvée, is primarily crafted from Cabernet Sauvignon grapes sourced from the Mole Hill vineyard, along with grapes from Calistoga and the Stags Leap District. Named in honor of John Daniel Jr., this wine undergoes a 20-month aging process in French oak barrels before being bottled. The proportion of new barrels used in each vintage may vary.
The second estate vineyard, known as Totem, is located in Yountville and covers one hectare (2.5 acres). It occupies a section of the historic Inglenook vineyard. The Totem vineyard is exclusively planted with Sauvignon Blanc grapes, which are used to create the Georgia Sauvignon Blanc, named after Robin Lail’s granddaughter. This wine is fermented and aged in new French oak for 18 months.
In addition to their flagship wines, Lail Vineyards offers a value-driven range called Blueprint. This collection includes a Cabernet Sauvignon and a Sauvignon Blanc, with grapes sourced from various vineyards across Napa Valley.
