Forman Winery Cabernet Sauvignon--Vintage 1996
Napa Valley
"One of the most impressive recent Cabernet Sauvignons from Forman is his 1996. I was amazed how well it was showing despite having been bottled only a month earlier. The saturated ruby/purple color is followed by gorgeous jammy black currant fruit aromas, along with spicy oak and licorice. There is good acidity, but the wine appears to possess more viscosity than most Rick Forman offerings, as well as a chewy fleshiness, enough acidity for delineation, and moderate tannin in the convincingly long finish. This classic Bordeaux-styled wine should be at its finest between 2001-2020." Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate, Issue 120, 12/23/98
