About This Producer
In short: Forman Vineyard is a Napa Valley classic, producing Bordeaux-style wines of elegance and longevity.
Forman Vineyard was founded in 1983 by Ric Forman, one of Napa Valley’s legendary winemakers. Situated on the eastern foothills of the valley near Howell Mountain, the estate is dedicated to Bordeaux varieties, crafted with an Old World sensibility.
Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot form the backbone of Forman’s wines, which are known for their elegance, balance, and restraint. Rather than pursuing sheer power, Forman emphasizes harmony, fine tannins, and the ability to age gracefully.
Napa Valley’s volcanic and alluvial soils, combined with Ric Forman’s classicist approach, produce wines that bridge Californian ripeness with Bordeaux structure. The estate remains a benchmark for Napa elegance.
