Lail Vineyards J. Daniel Cuvée Cabernet Sauvignon is the flagship wine from one of Napa Valley's most storied families. Named in honor of John Daniel Jr., the legendary steward of Inglenook, this wine represents a 21st-century interpretation of the family's acclaimed Cabernet blends dating back over 140 years. The wine is crafted by renowned winemakers Philippe Melka and Maayan Koschitzky.

The J. Daniel Cuvée blends fruit from several prestigious Napa Valley vineyards, including Heimark in Calistoga, Vine Hill Ranch in Oakville, Stelzner in Stags Leap, and the estate's own Mole Hill on Howell Mountain. Recent vintages showcase aromas of black cherry, cassis, black raspberry, and dark chocolate, with signature flavors of blackberry jam, boysenberry, and black tea. The wine is elegant and silky yet powerful and complex, with focused ripe tannins and bright supporting acidity.

The J. Daniel Cuvée consistently earns critical acclaim, with The Wine Advocate awarding the 2022 vintage 98 points. The winery retails this wine at $310 per bottle.
