Lail Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc Blueprint Napa Valley 2023 750 ML

The Lail estate vineyards are extremely small and meticulously cared for. With an understanding that perfect grapes demand perfect nutrients, they tend to the land with sustainable farming and reflect the character of their vineyards in the wines by interfering as little as possible in the winery. Mole Hill Estate vineyard is located on Howell Mountain, composed of 3 acres of volcanic loam soil. Planted in 1993 and 1994, it is nestled beside a gorge on Howell Mountain at 1700 feet with a western exposure. The gorge acts as an elevator shaft from the valley floor, creating a unique microclimate for the vineyard. Small rocks are prolific and rise to the surface like cream in coffee. In combination with soil depth, this creates a spartan home for the vines, generating a concentration of flavors in the grapes. Totem vineyard is located in Yountville, and was the orignal source for the Merlot in the J. Daniel Cuveé, but has since been re-planted with only Sauvignon Blanc. Totem is part of the original Inglenook Vineyards and its soils carry the wisdom of six generations of family dedication. The property covers two and a half acres and is located at the north end of Yountville.
