Forman Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2013  - First Bottle

Reviews

97 Vinous -
A totally dazzling wine, Ric Forman's 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon is easily one of the wines of the vintage. Today, the 2013 is dense, powerful and explosive, with fabulous energy and tons of sheer intensity. Graphite, smoke, tobacco and layers of dark-fleshed fruit all open up in the glass. This is the first vintage to incorporate a dollop of Malbec. The 2013 has just been bottled. I will not be surprised at all if it merits a higher rating at some point in the future. Even better from bottle than it was from barrel, Ric Forman's 2013 is a super-classic, old-school Napa Cabernet to treasure for the next three decades. Best of all, Forman's Cabernet is probably the single greatest value in Napa Valley Cabernet.

Too late, we are SOLD OUT!
You can't put a price tag on a treasure such as this. A profound wine in a "once in a lifetime" vintage. Just wow! A wine that will outlive most First Growths!
