There is a much to admire in these new releases from Ric Forman. For starters, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon is shaping up beautifully. Forman ultimately decided to blend the fruit he got from Thorevilos (which he co-owns with David Abreu) into his Cabernet rather than bottle it separately, as he once considered. The resulting wine certainly benefits from that fruit. The 2016 Cabernet is also shaping beautifully. Despite boasting an extraordinary track record, Ric Forman and his wines remain less well known than they should, while pricing is remarkably fair by today's standards.

Ric Forman has been on tear of late. Once again, I was deeply impressed with the wines I tasted on my most recent visit. The bottled wines were equally strong when I tasted them again a few weeks later. In addition to the standard range, I also had a chance to taste Forman's Cabernet from Thorevilos, the St. Helena vineyard he owns with David Abreu. Forman also took fruit from Thorevilos in 2016. It will be interesting to see if the Thorevilos juice is bottled as a separate wine, or if it is ultimately blended into the Cabernet Sauvignon.
