Vinous, January 2022

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon is a rich, heady wine. Even though it was just bottled, the 2019 possesses remarkable textural intensity. A whole range of floral and savory notes open as this statuesque Cabernet shows off its...

The 2019 Forman Cabernet Sauvignon is a distinguished offering from the North Coast region of Napa, California. This wine, crafted by the renowned producer Forman, is comprised entirely of Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. It presents itself with a deep red hue and is sealed with a traditional cork closure. The alcohol content is 14.8%, typical for a robust Napa Cabernet.

Jeb Dunnuck, a respected wine critic, awarded this wine a score of 96. In his review dated May 4, 2022, Dunnuck described the 2019 Forman Cabernet Sauvignon as possessing a "classic, old school Napa Cabernet nose of darker currants, green tobacco, spring flowers, camphor, and new leather." He noted its medium to full-bodied nature, highlighting its elegance and ripe yet present tannins. Dunnuck emphasized that the 2019 vintage is more accessible and open compared to the 2018 vintage, predicting that it should continue to drink brilliantly for another two decades if stored correctly (jebdunnuck.com).

Vinous, another authoritative voice in the wine industry, rated the 2019 Forman Cabernet Sauvignon even higher, with a score of 97. Antonio Galloni, writing for Vinous on January 1, 2022, characterized this wine as "rich" and "heady," emphasizing its remarkable textural intensity despite being recently bottled. Galloni observed a range of floral and savory notes that emerge as the wine reveals its personality. He described it as a "statuesque Cabernet" and noted its especially "rich, bombastic" nature when compared to the 2018 vintage (Vinous).

Overall, the 2019 Forman Cabernet Sauvignon has garnered high praise for its elegance, rich texture, and complexity. Both reviewers highlighted its ability to age well, making it a worthy addition to any wine enthusiast's collection. Dunnuck's commentary on its classic Napa characteristics and Galloni's emphasis on its rich intensity provide a balanced view of this exceptional wine.
