Benoit Touquette f.a. (Familiar Air) Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

96 pts - limited                                              With this wine, it is the culmination of over ten years of friendship between taste-maker, importer, and wine broker, Kimberly Jones and winemaker, Benoit Touquette (Realm, Fait-Main, Teeter-Totter). Tiny-production and available almost nowhere so we're excited to offer you some while it lasts! 96 Points Jeb Dunnuck: "The 2016 Familiar Air is a beauty from the talent of winemaker Benoit Touquette, who’s also the genius behind the wines of Realm, Fait-Main, and others. A blend of 95% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Merlot was brought up in 80% new French oak, it’s a full-bodied, ripe, sexy Cabernet that has powerful notes of ground herbs, graphite, earth, and both blackberries and cassis. As Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon goes, it’s a rocking value as well as a terrific wine."
