Henry VII
2015 Sauvignon Blanc
Napa Valley
Lail Vineyards proudly presents Henry VII. Several years ago, we began our ‘Henry’ series of wines that are created exclusively for Premiere Napa Valley. Your wine celebrates our eldest grandson, Henry Thomas Dixon. To celebrate Henry, we have selected the best of the best barrels from our flagship Sauvignon Blanc called ‘Georgia’ (his sister). Coming from our three-acre estate vineyard in Yountville called Totem Vineyard, named in honor of a Pacific Northwest totem pole owned by Gustave Niebaum, founder of Inglenook Vineyards. Dry farmed, the vineyard was replanted in 1988 and grafted over years ago to Sauvignon Blanc at the recommendation of our winemaker, Philippe Melka. Your wine is from the outstanding 2015 vintage: seductive, succulent, mouthwatering and complex, with a brilliant, unforgettable finish.
