Community Tasting Note

Saturday, March 21, 2020 - Ric Forman knows how to craft excellent wine, even from a “tough” vintage. This particular bottle isn’t quite up to the high standard of his bottlings from superior vintages but a beautiful wine nonetheless. Lots of red fruit here and a funky, old school bordelaise style wafts from the glass upon opening. Mushroom and leather coming through, with this strawberry preserves character on the nose, but not in a sweet way. Aromatically this is a beautifully nuanced and layered wine, but the palate does fall a bit short on the length and finish. Holding together better than most 2000’s from Napa I’d suspect. Drink up.
