2021 Forman Cabernet, Napa Valley

96 Points – Vinous: The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon is a polished, silky offering. The 2021 is sleek and well-balanced, but despite its bright future, is also very young and in need of time. Building with time in the glass, this is classy, deep and exceptionally well-tuned.

94 Points – Jeb Dunnuck: The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley is more elegant and restrained in the vintage, as well as slightly more mid-weight than both the 2018 and 2019. Its semi-translucent ruby hue is followed by a beautiful perfume of sweet redcurrants and raspberries intermixed with complex sandalwood, forest floor, and floral notes. Medium-bodied, with a ripe, elegant mouthfeel, well-integrated tannins, and outstanding length, it reminds of a terrific Graves from Bordeaux. It deserves 2-4 years of bottle age and will keep through 2051.
