Lali

Founded by Robin Lail, whose lineage traces directly to Napa Valley pioneer Inglenook’s Gustave Niebaum, Lail Vineyards embodies more than a century of California winemaking heritage distilled into a modern vision. The estate’s focus on small-lot Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc expresses not only the nuance of its iconic vineyard sites—Totem, Mole Hill, and the legendary Howell Mountain—but also the evolution of Napa’s winemaking through generations of the same family. Under sustainable farming practices and meticulous vineyard selection, each bottling captures a vivid sense of place rooted in volcanic soils and the valley’s varied microclimates. This tasting invites guests to explore how Lail’s deep historical roots and forward-looking precision converge in wines that speak with both lineage and clarity of terroir.
