The description below is the retailer’s own wording.

From the glorious 2023 vintage, this Blueprint Cabernet Sauvignon is deep purple-red, showing captivating aromas of sandalwood, ripe plum, coffee bean and cocoa. Flavors are manifold, including black raspberry and cherry, dark chocolate, and huckleberry. Creamy, full-bodied, supple, bright and juicy at its core, it finishes long, elegant, fine and richly-layered. This is as good as Blueprint Cabernet Sauvignon gets. The 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon Blueprint is a fabulous entry-level offering from Robin Lail. Dark, ample and seductive, the 2023 delivers on all fronts. Blackberry, graphite, dried herbs, leather and chocolate are all dialed up. Blueprint is a blend from some of the top sites in Napa Valley. It's one of the very best Napa Valley Cabernets in its price range. The 2023 is perhaps the best vintage of this bottling ever. Lail's 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon Blueprint-a blend of fruit from eight sites and aged in 50% to 60% new French oak-delivers an experience that's consistent with what readers have come to expect. It's inky in hue and emphasizes dark fruit, like black cherries and cassis, while remaining medium- to full-bodied yet silky, with fine-grained tannins and a balanced, elegant, softly dusty finish. It's a solid value, even more so if you find it discounted. Deep purple and ruby-hued, the 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon Blueprint is sourced from a broad mix of sites across the valley, including Calistoga, Coombsville, Howell Mountain, Oakville, Rutherford, Stags Leap District, and Yountville. Based on 97% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Petit Verdot and aged 17 months in 65% new French oak, it offers deep blackcurrants, plums, chocolate, woodsmoke, and black cherry notes. It's medium to full-bodied, with spicy oak, a round, layered mouthfeel, and outstanding length. Drink 2025-2035.
