2017  Chardonnay

"The 2017 Chardonnay Genevieve's Block is from a vineyard of only about 900 vines. It was fermented and aged in 30% new oak for 11 months. Malolactic fermentation was blocked this vintage, and lees stirring was lessened, due to the nature of the vintage. On the nose, it opens with notes of toast, graphite and toasted hazelnut over a core of warm yellow apple, white blossom, red apple skin and white stone fruits. Medium to full-bodied with a great silky/creamy texture, it fills the mouth with wonderfully ripe tree fruits, nutty character and a wicked vein of crushed stone minerality, charged by tangy acidity and finishing very long and textured. Lovely! 169 cases were made." - 95pts WA

"Combines firm, structured tannins and acidity, framing a juicy core of dark berry fruit that's intense. Ends with a floral black licorice edge. Best from 2013 through 2026." - 92pts WS

2017  

"Forman's 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon is fabulous. Rich and beautifully layered in the glass, the 2017 has gorgeous depth and a touch of exoticism that is so appealing. Ripe red berry fruit, floral overtones and a touch of spice are all laced together. Just bottled, the 2017 is super impressive, even in the early going. This is an especially racy style for Ric Forman, and yet he clearly got every ounce of potential out of the year." - 95+pts Vinous

2006  

"The 2006 Futo (75% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Petit Verdot) exhibits a deep ruby/blue/purple color, a flawless integration of tannin, acidity, wood, and alcohol, and gorgeous opulence. While Futo is situated on western hillsides overlooking Oakville, it displays a style that has more in common with the purity and elegance found in Screaming Eagle, which is a few miles to the east, on the valley floor. This beautiful 2006 is a resounding success for this vintage, which had some issues with rustic tannins. It should drink well for 15+ years." - 95pts WA
