2019 Teeter-Totter Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley
It’s easy to greet the ups and downs of life with grace when you’ve got a great cab on your side. Teeter-Totter is one to jump on, with tremendous value and quality hiding behind a surprisingly low price. As Dunnuck says, “It tastes as if it cost two to three times the price.” Benoit Touquette worked alongside Andy Erickson at Ovid and Screaming Eagle, found a mentor in Michel Rolland, and then went on to craft some seriously high-scoring and highly delicious cabs like this one. There’s no downside to Touquette’s Teeter-Totter!

Readers looking for a great value in Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon should jump on the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon, a rich, plum and blue-fruited Cabernet with medium to full-bodied richness, plenty of classic cedarwood, chocolate, and tobacco aromatics, silky tannins, lots of opulence, and a great finish. It tastes as if it cost two to three times the price, and I'd be thrilled to drink bottles any time over the coming 10–12 years.
