2019 TEETER TOTTER NAPA VALLEY CABERNET SAUVIGNON
2019 TEETER TOTTER, CABERNET SAUVIGNON, NAPA VALLEY, CALIFORNIA. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon.
Benoit Touquette might no longer be the #1 undiscovered talent in Napa. Garnering great reviews with Realm, Hartwell and his Fait-Main label. He was Andy Ericksons right-hand man, at Screaming Eagle producing many 98-100 point wines! Benoit is also the protg of the worlds top consulting winemaker Michel Rolland. All three were at the helm of Ovid producing their wines for some years. His Fait-Main label, which translates to Hand-Crafted is a small case production Cabernet project.
The 2017 Fait-Main Teeter Totter Cabernet Sauvignon Blend with its opaque ruby/purple-color exhibits tons of fruit on the nose: crme de cassis, blackcurrants and blackberries intermixed with notes of baking spices, lavender, graphite and licorice. It is big, bold and full-bodied, round and juicy loaded with black stone fruit, a touch of cigar spice and a hint of figs on the long, silky finish. This is a wine that could be drunk now or over the next decade.
About: Unquestionably a rising superstar in California, Frenchman Benoit Touquette makes a bevy of wines from throughout Napa Valley, all of which show impeccable winemaking and balanced, layered profiles.
