This white wine, produced in Napa Valley, showcases exemplary quality and taste with only 888 cases produced.
Having hailed from recognized vineyards Coombsville and Yountville, the Blueprint Sauvignon Blanc 2022 shows a bright yellow-green hue in the glass. On the nose, it is characterized by fresh and fragrant aromas of honeydew melon, tangerine, green and yellow apple, lime, and Asian pear. On the palate, it has a creamy and complex texture that carries grapefruit, jasmine, and Bartlett pear flavors. Notes of citrus zest, sweet pea, mango, and yellow peach also come through, giving it vibrancy and zest.
Critics have noted the wine’s ability to show a range of richness and hints of honey backed up by steely, gravelly notes, light grasses and whispers of Meyer lemons. Its flavor profile was also praised for its suppleness and slight polish, which is coupled with the ability to firm up across the palate with cellaring. Developing flavours of lobster dishes would be the perfect companion to the Blueprint Sauvignon Blanc 2022.

Impressive wine with butterscotch, sharp musky citrus, melon, rich mouthfeel, and good acid finish.
Michelle Fried –
Medium-bodied with notes of Granny Smith apples, prunes, and bread. A medium finish with a sharp note on the back of the tongue. Improved fruitiness on the second day. Expensive for its quality.

A-/A. Notes of tropical fruit, melon, pineapple, lemon, and lime with a nice acidity.
Patricia Swisher –
Great Sauvignon Blanc with nice layers and clean fruit tones.
Kelly Wells –
Lail’s Mr. Melka made a great wine. Georgia bottling is worth splurging on. Citrus flavors throughout with a zip line finish. Great with spicy food.
Harold Garner –
Unbalanced with overpowering mango cream notes, but hints of citrus and grass. Needs aging.
Marie Lapointe –
Decent Cali SB, but pricier than alternatives. Will wait a few years for potential improvements.
Jennifer Ramsour –
Great Sauvignon blanc with melon, grassy and citrus notes on the nose and green apple, pineapple, and stone fruits on the palate. Tannins on the back of the tongue.

Sauvignon Blanc aged in oak loses brightness, leans to buttery side.

Jason York –
Vibrant and refreshing with lemon and herbaceous notes, finished with mineral undertones.
James Rowley –
Classic citrus flavor with a delightful touch, not too fruity.
Teresa Bader –
Smooth with no rough edges. Mineral, stone fruit, citrus, spice on the nose. Acid finish with good length.
Eunice Bond –
Well-balanced SB with a coconut, grass, and tropical fruit nose. Perfectly paired with grilled shrimp, red rice, and garden salad. Great for summer, have two more.
Daniel Goodwin –
Highly recommended Sauvignon Blanc with tropical fruit notes and a balanced acidity. Oak integration adds a medium body. Refreshing and not your typical NZ style.
Vincent Sloan –
Review: Delightful light-colored wine with apple, lemon, and kiwi notes. Great value at $35/bottle.
Jason Clay –
Lovely SB with tropical fruit aromas, pear, grass, and mango on the palate. Perfect for poolside sipping.
Mittie Gillis –
Sav. Blancs are evolving- softer, fruitier, less acidic. This wine fits the bill. Minerality was more pronounced on day two. Perfect for hot summer days.
Joanna Murphy –
Tropical nose with white flowers, pineapple, and mineral tones. The acidity upfront, restrained style with light phenolics show structure. Well made and nice style.
Barbara Huerta –
Balanced with a spicy aroma, light tartness, and fruity notes of pear and citrus. Lovely acidity and mineral notes followed by a pleasant finish.
Hector Welch –
Smokey lychee fruit with oak and mineral notes on the nose. Fresh acidity on the palate. A well-made Sauvignon Blanc at an attractive price point, ready to drink now.
Timothy Carey –
Subtle Napa Sauv. Blanc, decent but not great value.
Jeremy Guers –
Winner! Punches above its weight with coconut, grass, wet rocks on the nose and Napa-weight on the mid palate. Finish is minerality and acidity.
James Mcconnell –
Great summer white! Muted flavors but nice complexity. Perfect for patio sipping and socializing.
Michael Hernandez –
Fresh and linear, with stone fruit, citrus, and mellow grapefruit flavors. Subtle green notes and a slightly spicy finish.
Richard Novak –
The 2018 Blueprint Sauvignon Blanc is a medium-bodied wine with high acidity and a crisp, refreshing finish. It has notes of lemon, lime, pineapple, and dried herbs. 100% Sauvignon Blanc, 14.3% ABV, 1,342 cases produced.
Adam Gregoire –
Napa SB with lemongrass and wet stone aroma, pineapple note, good structure, acidity, and medium finish.
Richard Macdonald –
Balanced acidity, refreshing wine. Citrus nose, grapefruit edge, pear midpalate. Long clean finish.
Ching Lovell –
Straw-colored wine with moderate complexity and oak notes. High acidity, medium body. Good but not excellent for the price. Score: 91-92.
Laura Pinsonnault –
Same as April 2020.
Jean Ramos –
Excellent Sav Blanc with copious tasting notes on CT. Drink at 48-54 degrees and has the potential to age for 3-5 years. Enjoy!
Allison Horner –
Consistent and stunning.
Lois Rice –
Palate is rounded, ripe apricot fruit present without being overripe.
Pablo Walker –
High-value exceptional wine perfect for a summer evening paired with swordfish.
Russell West –
Reliable and enjoyable, but not remarkable.
Robert Scherer –
Good acidity and some fruit, but could be better.
Daphne Liestman –
Highly rated at 90 by WS, 95 by WE and 92 by JS, this 14.3% SB is priced at $40 from TW. It’s smooth and balanced, with a unique taste. Despite the price tag, it’s worth buying again to share with friends.
Richard Johnson –
Tart grapefruit and lemon zest with a peppery frame. Viscous mouthfeel, balanced acidity. Finishes long with sharp citrus flavors.
Stephen Rodriquez –
Tasting notes: 10+ year old wines including 2009 Raymond Generations Cabernet, 2010 Syzygy Saros Red, and 2004 Two Hands Aphrodite Cabernet. WOTN – Tie between 2009 Raymond Generations and 2004 Aphrodite. Overall, an excellent tasting!
Raul Watt –
Popped and poured, probably around 45-50 degrees. This is floral, with mango and tangerine aspects. A little oak. As with some of the top Cali SBs (Merry Edwards, Jonata) there’s more weight than is varietally typical and the mix of wood and stainless adds intriguing texture. Really enjoyed this. 92-93
Jesse Cower –
Disappointing $30 California SB. Nice aroma, tropical fruit taste, high acidity, but not worth it compared to NZ.
Patricia Hoggins –
Flavorful, aged wine with mineral, citrus, and spice notes. A touch of hay/grass adds complexity. Crisp without being too acidic. Rated 92 by me and 91 by my wife. Hit the spot.
Robert Loeschner –
Pear and citrus dominate with a hint of grapefruit. Good alcohol and acidity balance.
Thomas Culver –
Perfectly acidic citrus notes complemented the spicy peanut noodle dish.
Jose Lechner –
Balanced with good acidity and astringency. New world style, no oak. Perfect with vinaigrette.
Jonathan Cervantes –
Good everyday Sauvignon Blanc with notes of grapefruit, sour fruit, and crisp acid. Well-made but not particularly memorable or special.
John Cheung –
Lail and Melaka’s wine is well-made with clean, crisp tropical fruit flavors and hints of green apple. It has a creamy texture, possibly from the French oak. Similar to a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. Greatness is to be expected.
Michael Eikleberry –
Smells like Napa with oak in a good way.
Mary Lavadera –
Second taste is richer and rounder with a less pronounced aroma.
Carolyne Nixon –
Consistent and great value. Grassy nose with tropical fruit hints. Balanced acidity and richness. Perfect with swordfish, mushrooms, and salad.
Wilford Kuntzman –
Blueprint Sauvignon Blanc 2020 has a creamy and richly layered demeanor with intense aromas of stone fruits, white flowers, and pear. It is a fun wine to watch as it develops.
Earl Davis –
Creamy mid-palate, lacks acidity on finish, not a good pairing for typical varietal foods.
Audrey Seymore –
Clean and focused with grass, melon, and citrus notes. Guessed domestic sauv blanc.
Robert Brodersen –
Wine with stone fruit, guava, white melon and tart white grapefruit. Light gold, medium bodied, light to medium legs. Powerful acidity, no heat. Medium complexity, good persistence and intensity. Worth it. 92+.
Ella Vazquez –
Full-bodied, complex Sauvignon Blanc with a grassy bouquet, integrated oak, and a long finish. Great with salmon. Pricey but worth it.
Jack Loper –
Solid wine, pairs well with pesto. Terrific!
Jacquelyn Alvarez –
Simple and straightforward.
Wendy Akerley –
Bright and fragrant with grassy and grapefruit notes, steely and mineral elements. Crisp and refreshing. Winemaker: Philippe Melka.
William Zabel –
Sorry, but I cannot provide a review as there is no information given about the wine or the experience. Please provide more details.
Martha Bell –
Clean and pure with good fruit intensity of almonds and lemon. High acidity and unctuous with moderate length. Drink now or over the next 3 years.
Julie Rennels –
Clean, pure, intense fruit with hints of almonds and lemon. High acidity and unctuous. Sophisticated and not tropical. A stunning wine.
Edward Sanchez –
Delicious SB with stone fruit, shale, and pineapple notes. Best served at 55 degrees. Similar to Lail SB, but cheaper.
Bruce Vasquez –
Full-bodied with well-integrated oak and great fruit. Balanced with lively acidity and a 14.3% ABV. Pricey but worth it. Great with fried calamari and swordfish. Napa SB’s are a favorite.
Daniel Strong –
A well-balanced Sauvignon Blanc with hints of apple, almond, lemon, and lime. Improves at room temperature. Great with crab cakes.
Karen Lovelace –
Lail Vineyards’ SB is a nice choice with fresh tropical fruit and mango flavors. It’s very dry and has high acidity.
