The only problem with visiting Ric Forman is that he only makes two wines - well, that looks like it will change soon, but more on that later - so the visits are short. I say that because both the Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon are among the very best wines being made in California today. As always, Forman picks on the early side and makes wines that emphasize energy, acidity and structure in conjunction with the richness that Mother Nature provides on her own. In 2015, Forman finally was able to get some fruit from the Thorevilos vineyard, which he co-leases with David Abreu, so there may be a new Cabernet in the range soon. We will see. For now, readers should do what ever they can to grab a few bottles of these wines. Readers should also check out the wine's listed under Rossi - Wallace, Forman's sister label.

There are few winemakers in Napa Valley who can match Ric Forman's enviable track record. My only regret is that Forman makes only one Chardonnay and one Cabernet Sauvignon, as my tastings at the estate tend to be short. At their best, these are some of the most compelling wines being made in the US today. Forman blocks the malo on his Chardonnay, a style he made famous decades ago, which results in unusually steely, vibrant wines by California standards. Forman's Cabernets are the stuff of legends and are capable of aging 30-40 years. Quite remarkably, these wines remain exceptionally well priced considering their quality.
