Wow the wines! Let me tell you I have been coming to Napa for over decade and have pretty much done every type of experience the valley has to offer at this point. This was hands down one of the best yet! The fact that I had both Patrick and Rafer there (the owners and winemakers) at my tasting set it off. Small batch production with a quality that is unsurpassed. This is a TRUE boutique winery! In an era were the idea of that is truly dying. Their wines are a great value and top notch. Wait till you see the cave and have an opportunity to taste in their intimate and inviting space. COVID safe, their safety policies are above and beyond! I left feeling like family and can't wait to come back again. The best part is I stocked up on the tasty wines so I could relive the experience from the comfort of my home whilst dreaming of being back in Napa. Cheers guys!

Visited in October - a very small place with a great wine tasting, led by Patrick - we spent a couple of hours talking about the business and life while sampling the wines - this felt like a chat with a friend and not a commercial operation to sell wine. Totally worth the money and some very good wines, made with care. Would highly recommend.

The tasting at Forthright Winery was one of the best I have ever experienced! I was welcomed by Patrick and Rafer, the owners, at the entrance of the cave. After a tasting at the table, we continued walking by the barrels to listen to more (technical) information about the wine making process. These guys know what they are doing! I learned so much while having a great conversation. An experience I will not forget!

Spent the afternoon at Forthright with family, enjoying a private tour and tasting on their beautiful estate grounds. The wines and hospitality were both top notch. Can’t wait to return!

The wine, ambiance and location of this winery is outstanding. Patrick is very knowledgable about wines and gave us an amazing overview of the process and some very interesting background on Merlot. Highly recommend!!

Beautiful scenery when we pulled up, the cave is built into the earth. Rafer greeted us and was the most genuine, likable, knowledgeable winemaker I've experienced in a long time. He gave us a tour of the cave. Ask about every piece of artwork because a lot of them were done by Rafer himself! The ambiance definitely matches the quality of the wine. Highly recommend.
