Lail Vineyards 2019 Blueprint Cabernet Sauvignon

The Lail Vineyards 2019 Blueprint Cabernet Sauvignon is another winner for this cuvée, which was named Wine Enthusiast's Wine of the Year in 2020. The winemaking of Philippe Melka takes a backseat to no one, and the result here is a truly world-class Cabernet Sauvignon with plush black fruits, toasty and warm baking spices, firm tannins, and a creamy texture. An endless finish hints at the wine's long, long life ahead. Wine Advocate 92-94 Points, Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Blueprint has a deep garnet-purple color and sings of wild blueberries, Morello cherries and red and black currant jellies with touches of dried mint, chocolate box and cedar chest. Medium to full-bodied, the palate bursts with crunchy black fruits, supported by fine-grained tannins and bold freshness, finishing long and lifted. A barrel sample, 2,000 cases will be made." 03/21 Antonio Galloni 93 Points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous: "The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Bl
