94 Points Vinous
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. This is perhaps the best vintage of this bottling ever.
 
93 Points James Suckling
Lovely depth of flavor and fruit-driven freshness, with aromas of graphite, black olives, potpourri and spices. The palate is refined and pure, with a rounded, textural mouthfeel that leads to a savory, earth-driven finish.
 
92 Points Jeb Dunnuck
Deep purple and ruby-hued, the 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon Blueprint is sourced from a broad mix of sites across the valley. It's 97% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Petit Verdot, aged 17 months in 65% new French oak, it offers deep blackcurrants, plums, chocolate, woodsmoke, and black cherry notes. Medium to full-bodied, with spicy oak, a round, layered mouthfeel, and outstanding length.
 
Winemaker Notes
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.
