We had a 1991 Forman Cab on the last Friday of December in Pacific Grove and it was fantastic. We have at least one Forman Cab every year to toast our late friend Dave, who introduced us to Ric and his wines many years ago.

So many great CA wines from '91.

You drank very well last year, although you do every year!

Wasnt it a BD offer a year or two back?

If it was, I missed it. I would have been all over a Jasnier with age.

I was thinking about this or the ‘19 for an upcoming birthday since recent CT notes suggest it’s not one to age. Would love your take on this if it’s a “drink sooner rather than later.”

Hi

I believe it will age just fine. It’s a twenty year wine IMO, but it is really good right now as well. No harm opening, but give it a bit of air. Here is my tasting note on it. 2018 Rivers-Marie Cabernet Sauvignon Herb Lamb Vineyard, USA, California, Napa, Wine Review

2018 Rivers-Marie Cabernet Sauvignon Herb Lamb Vineyard, USA, California…

The home winery for Thomas Rivers Brown, one of Napa’s premier winemakers. This is a new (albeit classic) viney…

Would echo Loren’s thoughts for the 19. That was on my WOTY list last year and was the best wine I tasted out of 36 at FallTacular:

2019 Rivers-Marie Herb Lamb Cab

Leslie Fisher (love her!) said “you—try this first!”. She wasn’t wrong. Aromatics of plum and cassis, and maybe even some latent cured tobacco. In the mouth…wow. So good. Full of black fruit and yet woodsy and controlled with great structure. A total triumph and my WOTD
