Forthright For The Fourth!

Tonight we’re raising a glass to 250 years of American history, and to the enduring tradition of American wine bringing people together. From sunset dinners to fireworks with friends, some moments are simply better with a bottle on the table.

Wherever you’re celebrating, here’s to good company, something beautiful in the glass, and a Fourth worth toasting.

Happy Independence Day from Forthright Winery!

Curious about the flavor journey of Forthright wines? Let's dive into the Sauvignon Blanc grape. With its crisp acidity and citrusy notes, Sauvignon Blanc offers a refreshing zing. As it ages, it can develop intriguing flavors like tropical fruits and herbs, adding complexity to our wines.

Now, let's explore the versatile Pinot Noir grape. Known for its delicate red fruit flavors and earthy undertones, Pinot Noir can evolve beautifully with aging. From bright cherry notes in its youth to richer, more nuanced flavors like mushrooms and truffles with age, our Pinot Noir wines offer a captivating spectrum of flavors.
Lastly, let's savor the bold character of Cabernet Sauvignon. With its deep color, robust tannins, and rich fruit flavors, Cabernet Sauvignon is a wine of power and finesse. As it matures, it can develop layers of complexity, ranging from black currant and cedar to leather and to***co, making each sip of our Cabernet Sauvignon an unforgettable experience.

Let us know what flavors you detect in your next bottle and tell us what you can deduce from the wine based on flavor profiles alone.
