About the Icons
Rick Forman has been crafting suberb wine in Napa Valley since the mid 1970's, and has been one of the region's most consistent winemakers for decades. Over the course of his career he has stayed true to his vision and convictions, making wines that have structure, precision and elegance. They typically develop very well in the cellar, and reward the patient. We think of Rick as being in the same league as Philip Togni, Cathy Corison, the late Bob Travers, the late Bob Sessions, and a handful of others whose winemaking careers have left or continue to make a significant mark on the industry. Others have bent a knee to the score mongers, or played footsie with the wine press for more notoriety. Not Rick. Not Forman. ~ Peter Granoff, Master Sommelier
