Soft, supple and voluptuous, the 2012 is a great choice for drinking while some of the more structured vintages rest comfortably in the cellar. Sweet mocha and spice notes wrap around the silky, seamless finish. @Severn Goodwin @Paul T- Huntington Beach

I’m sure this will improve, it just wasn’t particularly appealing to me today. Followed two days and day two was better. The oak needs to integrate.

A few days late in posting wines from the Wine Thief dinner last weekend. A nice selection of wines, most of which I’d never had before.

Guilty...I’ve never had anything from Forman before. I hear their longevity is lengthy and I can see why. This ‘12 has very delicious and focused energy all the way through. It wasn’t a fruit bomb, but it wasn’t overly tannic. Seemed right down the middle. Red, blue and black fruits alongside earthy herbs and a touch of cedar. Loved this.

Reminds me of napanook, at twice the price.

Notes of dark red fruit with slight vegetal undertones. Exquisite with pot roast or just a burger and fries.
