{"product_id":"2022-teeter-totter-cabernet-sauvignon-napa-valley","title":"2022 Teeter-Totter Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley","description":"\u003cp\u003e93 Jeb Dunnuck - The Teeter-Totter Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley comes mostly from Rutherford and is an interesting blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Charbono, 5% Zinfandel, and 5% Petite Sirah, that was brought up in 65% new French oak. It’s a terrific wine offering classic currant fruits, some baking chocolate and spicy nuances, medium to full-bodied, ripe tannins, beautiful balance, and outstanding length. California needs more wines like this.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e94 James Suckling - Blackberry and blueberry aromas with crushed stone. Lavender. Medium body, with velvety tannins. Juicy and crunchy. Serious Napa cabernet although some petite sirah and charbono in the blend as well. Drink or hold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTeeter-Totter is the personal project of Benoît Touquette, the French-born winemaker best known as the longtime winemaker and partner at Realm Cellars, as well as the man behind the much more expensive Fait-Main wines. The pivotal relationship was with Michel Rolland, who became a mentor and helped Touquette make his way to Napa. Once in California, he worked alongside Andy Erickson, gaining exposure to elite Napa projects including Ovid and Screaming Eagle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2022 Teeter-Totter Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley - Benoît Touquette makes some of Napa Valley's most coveted Cabernets at Realm and Fait-Main. Teeter-Totter is where he takes that same serious winemaking talent and has a little more fun. Predominantly Rutherford fruit gives the 2022 a gorgeous core of cassis, blackberry and dark cherry layered with graphite, chocolate, cedar and baking spice. Plush, polished and beautifully textured, with velvety tannins and enough freshness to keep all that Napa richness in check. Serious pedigree without the cult-Cab tariff—this is an awful lot of Benoît Touquette for the money.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"URBAN WINE BROKERS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39377378541641,"sku":"863246000308","price":59.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0044\/7165\/2425\/files\/Teeter-TotterCabernetSauvignonNapaValley.png?v=1787952985","url":"https:\/\/www.vintagewinemerchants.com\/products\/2022-teeter-totter-cabernet-sauvignon-napa-valley","provider":"Vintage Wine Merchants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
