92 points Connoisseurs' Guide: "A good and gutsy young Cabernet Sauvignon that is unsparing in very deep fruit and lavishly decked out in sweet oak without ever losing its very sure fruity bearings, Lail's latest Blueprint flirts for now with a tempting bit of succulence. While it admittedly already offers a tantalizing look at the complexity and layering that mark eminently collectable Cabernets, it is also, as serious versions are wont to be, a wine that belongs in the cellar and not on the table for a good many years. Waiting for another half-decade is sure to bring manifold rewards, and waiting for another after that will bring even more. (Jan 2021)"
Producer notes: "Blueprint Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 is deeply-colored ruby with purple edges, showing explosive aromas of blackberry, black cherry, ripe red plum, and espresso. Sweey spicy flavors of boysenberry, dark chocolate and cassis add further intrigue and complexity. It is layered and rich in texture - lush, creamy, and finely balanced. This is a full-throttle and totally complete vintage for Blueprint Cabernet Sauvignon."
