Ric Forman's 2014 Chardonnay is a real stunner. A bit riper than it usually is, the 2014 possesses superb richness and intensity, but tapered with the vibrant, blocked-malo style that Forman pioneered in Napa Valley... (Antonio Galloni, Vinous)

Keeps opening revealing more notes. Definite tropical fruit notes, nice medium bodied chard. Subtler than many Napa chards. Good acidity. A very tasty white wine

Oct 22nd, 2016Bright yellow. Very closed in the nose, discrete white fruit and a hint of flowers. Very tight, high acidity, good fruit concentration and long finish. Built for the long haul, doesn't shine as yet, but everything is there.Patience required. I expect this to be really great with a few years of bottle age. 2014 vintage. Abv. 13,9%. 40 euro.

Mineral driven, slate and stone, almond, and apple, creamy and intense, slightly bitter on the finish.

Nose of lemon, honey and vanilla. Clean, crisp , good acidity and nice balance. Chablis like presentation which is Ric’s trademark. Impressive!
