2008 Lail Vineyards Blueprint Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, USA
RP 90 | Wine AdvocateThe 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Blueprint is made from fruit purchased from four separate vineyards. Composed of 88% Cabernet Sauvignon and 12% Merlot, it is an outstanding example of a Napa wine available at a more approachable price. As good as the outstanding 2007 Blueprint, the dark ruby/purple-tinged 2008 exhibits lots of black currant and black cherry notes intermixed with hints of licorice and roasted herbs. Round and supple-textured with silky tannins, this mid-weight Cabernet can be enjoyed over the next 5-7 years. |
ST 90 | Vinous(includes 12% merlot; a blend from six vineyards): Good deep red-ruby. Good lift to the aromas of blueberry, kirsch, leather and menthol, with a medicinal quality emerging with aeration. Juicy, spicy and nicely focused, with good cut to its dark fruit flavors. On the lean side and almost tart, but already makes a refreshing drink. Finishes firm, with building tannins and brisk acidity. |
