Community Tasting Note

Sunday, November 23, 2008 - As Roberto Di Vicenzo once famously said after signing an incorrect scorecard to lose a major, "I'm a big stupid." That's the humbling world of blind winetasting, where speaking personally, I've experienced both incredible success and abject failure. Tonight was one of "those," when I pegged this as a brunello. At least my first thought was a Super Tuscan cab/sangiovese blend. That's in the distantly recognizable ballpark, if you're being generous. Another triumph in stylistic purity for Forman-initially undetectable to me as a New World Wine at all, let alone a California cab. Really hitting its stride right now, elegant black fruits leading a gorgeous attack. There seemed to be jot the right dollop of acidity, which led me astray but speaks volumes about the winemaker's intent here. Always a bellwether. And two weeks ago I was tasting at the winery! Time to go drown my sorrows.
