Ric Forman was one of the pioneers in terms of high quality, non-malolactic Chardonnay, and his 2004 Chardonnay may be the finest he has yet produced. Forman is achieving more floral notes in this cuvee than in the past, in addition to notions of white peaches, pears, lemon blossoms, and a hint of minerality. Pure, with good underlying acidity, this medium-bodied, elegant white should be enjoyed over the next 1-2 years. Tel. (707) 963-0234; Fax (707) 963-5384
