I have to say I dont get too excited lately over wine tastings, but today was different. Robin Lail is from one of the early pioneering familys of Napa wine, in the time after prohibition the Inglenook line of wine was known for outstanding quality and only became associated with box wine after the sale of the winery. Some of the best vineyard sites in Napa where owned by her family. Recommended reading, "Napa".. tells the history and personalities of Napa wine making.
Lail Blueprint Sauvignon Blanc Napa 2008 made by Phillippe Melka fermented in oak then rests in stainless steel beautiful depth of fruit, loads of viscous fruit, melon and prosciotto on thepalate...
Lail Blueprinte Cabernet Sauvignon 2006 cab and merlot blend.. a touch young on the nose, bright berry fruit on the palate with a long finish.. a good primer for cali cab
Lail J Daniel Cuvee 2006... beautiful cedar nose, deep rich flavors of dark black fruits, and a silky finish... named for her father who was a major booster for what napa wine could be like before it was cool to like napa wine.
