Teeter-Totter Cabernet Sauvignon

Crafted from prime Napa Valley sites and shaped by the masterful hand of winemaker Benoit Touquette, the 2022 Teeter-Totter Cabernet Sauvignon is a vibrant expression of power, purity, and poise. A blend centered around 96% Cabernet Sauvignon with small additions of Charbono and Petite Sirah, it reflects Touquette’s Bordeaux-trained precision and the finesse that has earned him dozens of perfect 100-point wines.

The 2022 growing season brought nourishing winter rains followed by a warm, steady summer conditions that allowed early-ripening vineyards to flourish ahead of the heat spikes. The result is fruit of remarkable freshness and energy, captured through aging in 70% new French oak to sculpt texture and depth.

In the glass, the wine opens with ripe black cherry, blueberry compote, and lifted floral tones, accented by a whisper of spicy underbrush. The palate is medium to full-bodied and beautifully layered, balancing Cabernet’s natural structure with refined sweetness and polished tannins. Notes of cassis, baking spices, and a touch of chocolaty oak glide across the tongue, building toward a long, confident finish that is both bold and impeccably composed.

A showcase of Napa Valley richness with modern elegance, this Cabernet embodies the balance and craftsmanship at the heart of Teeter-Totter.
