Forman
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Primary red fruit aromas. Just medium weight with oak nuances on the palate. I can’t think of an Australian Cabernet that is as light as this and I’m really enjoying it. Molesworth said this was good if you like herbaceous wines (which I do). After a lifetime of Margaret River Cabernets, I can’t see herbal nuances in the Forman.

Apr 14th, 2024Deep Ruby red with aromas of ripe berry fruits, spice and floral notes. On the palate flavors of black cherry, currants and smoky oak with earthy floral and black pepper notes. Fine soft tannins, long finish ending with fruit, toasty oak and floral mineral character. Needs to age a bit more but nice now! Tasting Sample!

May 11th, 2023An amazing Cabernet. Balanced with dried purple fruit and with hint of bell pepper. Wow! Paired with hangar steak and roasted potatoes.

Feb 4th, 20242017 vintage. Continuing to be well balanced between the feminine and masculine, the valley floor and the mountain slope. No surprise, given the winery/vineyard location. A fave Napa Cab producer. Drinking beautifully now but definite rewards/dividends to be had if you can hold off on opening for another 10-25 years. Good luck on holding off. 5.18.23.
