Ric Forman told me he has to go back to 1972 to see a vintage like 2011. I will take his word for it, as I was barely born. Although the Cabernets are usually the highlights, the 2012 Chardonnay is superb and not to be missed. As always, Ric and Toby Forman make some of the most distinctive and fairly priced wines in Napa Valley.

Veteran winemaker Ric Forman described 2011 as "the most challenging year since 1972." It began with a rainy flowering that cut potential production dramatically. He then lost more fruit as the rot-affected berries fell off the vines and the team did further triage in the winery following the harvest during the second half of October. He did not do a cold soak in 2011, and the fruit spent just 15 to 20 days on its skins, with no post-fermentation maceration. The estate's 2010 cabernet, on the other hand, is "as big as Forman gets."

Ric Forman is arguably Napa Valley's first superstar winemaker. Although sometimes overlooked today, there is little question Forman has had a profound influence on a number of younger winemakers who still speak of him with great reverence. In 2012 Forman celebrated his 46th harvest. Today, Forman counts on the assistance of his son Toby, in running this small, family-owned jewel of an estate. As for the wines, they are superb, but, best of all, remain realistically priced for the consumer who wants to drink top-flight Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon without having to take out a second mortgage. The Chardonnay is made in the non-malo style Forman pioneered in the 1970s. Forman's Cabernet is one of the classic masterpieces of Napa Valley, even if recent vintages come across as a bit riper than the norm. Still, it is impossible to go wrong with any of these wines.
