    The Lail Vineyards Blueprint Sauvignon Blanc 2022, created by renowned winemaker Philippe Melka, celebrates the commitment of Lail Vineyards’ to the Porto Protocol – a global initiative asking companies to demonstrate their leadership on climate action. 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.

    At Lail Vineyards, crafting fine wines that have stood the test of time is a family tradition. Alongside the hard work of the winemaking team, the blend of its ingredients ” the land, the seasons, the spirit of generations before, continues to show through in every one of their products. The craftsmanship and dedication that goes into the network of people and processes have created the distinct Blueprint Sauvignon Blanc 2022 ” a shining example of what Napa Valley can bring to the fine wine industry.

      Great.

    3. John Mayo

    4. Natasha Holst

      Nose of grapefruit and lemon, with a touch of oak/vanilla. Nice taste.

    5. Ruth Huard

      Elegant classic with no flaws. Perfectly paired with salmon. Beautiful nose with minerality and citrus. Medium finish. Perfectly drinkable.

    6. Harry Cook

      Balanced and citrusy with a flinty finish, leaves you wanting more.

    7. Cory Winkler

      Floral and tropical flavors are prominent with low acidity in this new world style wine.

    8. Jerome Parker

      Nose: Floral
      Palate: Lemon and Vanilla

    9. Lauren Thompson

      Bright acidity, smooth finish.

    10. Charlene Thompson

      Impressive wine with butterscotch, sharp musky citrus, melon, rich mouthfeel, and good acid finish.

    11. 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.

    12. Tommie Olson

      A-/A. Notes of tropical fruit, melon, pineapple, lemon, and lime with a nice acidity.

    13. Patricia Swisher

      Great Sauvignon Blanc with nice layers and clean fruit tones.

    14. 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.

    15. Harold Garner

      Unbalanced with overpowering mango cream notes, but hints of citrus and grass. Needs aging.

    16. Marie Lapointe

      Decent Cali SB, but pricier than alternatives. Will wait a few years for potential improvements.

    17. 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.

    18. Greta Gaines

      Flavors of honey dew, cantaloupe, and orange zest with a mineral touch and refreshing acidity. Grade A-.

    19. Nathan Mumford

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

    20. John Kleck

      Flavors of green grass, honeydew melon, lemon, pineapple with a good acidity.

    21. Jason York

      Vibrant and refreshing with lemon and herbaceous notes, finished with mineral undertones.

    22. James Rowley

      Classic citrus flavor with a delightful touch, not too fruity.

    23. Teresa Bader

      Smooth with no rough edges. Mineral, stone fruit, citrus, spice on the nose. Acid finish with good length.

    24. 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.

    25. 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.

    26. Vincent Sloan

      Review: Delightful light-colored wine with apple, lemon, and kiwi notes. Great value at $35/bottle.

    27. Jason Clay

      Lovely SB with tropical fruit aromas, pear, grass, and mango on the palate. Perfect for poolside sipping.

    28. 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.

    29. 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.

    30. 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.

    31. 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.

    32. Timothy Carey

      Subtle Napa Sauv. Blanc, decent but not great value.

    33. 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.

    34. James Mcconnell

      Great summer white! Muted flavors but nice complexity. Perfect for patio sipping and socializing.

    35. Michael Hernandez

      Fresh and linear, with stone fruit, citrus, and mellow grapefruit flavors. Subtle green notes and a slightly spicy finish.

    36. 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.

    37. Adam Gregoire

      Napa SB with lemongrass and wet stone aroma, pineapple note, good structure, acidity, and medium finish.

    38. Richard Macdonald

      Balanced acidity, refreshing wine. Citrus nose, grapefruit edge, pear midpalate. Long clean finish.

    39. 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.

    40. Laura Pinsonnault

      Same as April 2020.

    41. 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!

    42. Allison Horner

      Consistent and stunning.

    43. Lois Rice

      Palate is rounded, ripe apricot fruit present without being overripe.

    44. Pablo Walker

      High-value exceptional wine perfect for a summer evening paired with swordfish.

    45. Russell West

      Reliable and enjoyable, but not remarkable.

    46. Robert Scherer

      Good acidity and some fruit, but could be better.

    47. 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.

    48. Richard Johnson

      Tart grapefruit and lemon zest with a peppery frame. Viscous mouthfeel, balanced acidity. Finishes long with sharp citrus flavors.

    49. 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!

    50. 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

    51. Jesse Cower

      Disappointing $30 California SB. Nice aroma, tropical fruit taste, high acidity, but not worth it compared to NZ.

    52. 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.

    53. Robert Loeschner

      Pear and citrus dominate with a hint of grapefruit. Good alcohol and acidity balance.

    54. Thomas Culver

      Perfectly acidic citrus notes complemented the spicy peanut noodle dish.

    55. Jose Lechner

      Balanced with good acidity and astringency. New world style, no oak. Perfect with vinaigrette.

    56. Jonathan Cervantes

      Good everyday Sauvignon Blanc with notes of grapefruit, sour fruit, and crisp acid. Well-made but not particularly memorable or special.

    57. 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.

    58. Michael Eikleberry

      Smells like Napa with oak in a good way.

    59. Mary Lavadera

      Second taste is richer and rounder with a less pronounced aroma.

    60. Carolyne Nixon

      Consistent and great value. Grassy nose with tropical fruit hints. Balanced acidity and richness. Perfect with swordfish, mushrooms, and salad.

    61. 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.

    62. Earl Davis

      Creamy mid-palate, lacks acidity on finish, not a good pairing for typical varietal foods.

    63. Audrey Seymore

      Clean and focused with grass, melon, and citrus notes. Guessed domestic sauv blanc.

    64. 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+.

    65. Ella Vazquez

      Full-bodied, complex Sauvignon Blanc with a grassy bouquet, integrated oak, and a long finish. Great with salmon. Pricey but worth it.

    66. Jack Loper

      Solid wine, pairs well with pesto. Terrific!

    67. Jacquelyn Alvarez

      Simple and straightforward.

    68. Wendy Akerley

      Bright and fragrant with grassy and grapefruit notes, steely and mineral elements. Crisp and refreshing. Winemaker: Philippe Melka.

    69. 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.

    70. 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.

    71. Julie Rennels

      Clean, pure, intense fruit with hints of almonds and lemon. High acidity and unctuous. Sophisticated and not tropical. A stunning wine.

    72. Edward Sanchez

      Delicious SB with stone fruit, shale, and pineapple notes. Best served at 55 degrees. Similar to Lail SB, but cheaper.

    73. 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.

    74. Daniel Strong

      A well-balanced Sauvignon Blanc with hints of apple, almond, lemon, and lime. Improves at room temperature. Great with crab cakes.

    75. Karen Lovelace

      Lail Vineyards’ SB is a nice choice with fresh tropical fruit and mango flavors. It’s very dry and has high acidity.

    Critical Acclaim

    CG 93
    Connoisseurs Guide
    Veering away from the fresh, grassy model for Sauvignon Blanc and instead showing a mix of richness and hints of honey backed up by steely, gravelly notes, light grasses and whispers of Meyer lemons, this nose promises much and the wine delivers fully on the palate. It is supple and somewhat polished to start yet firms up across the palate in a way that invites a few years of cellaring for those who will resist its current charms. It has the range and stuffing to work with rich lobster dishes.
