"Beautiful aromas of black and red fruits like blackcurrant and cherries. Subtle notes of bramble, violet, licorice, and fruits conserved in liquor. Scents of game, leather, moss, and even truffle, Sustained red structured, this wine lingers in the mouth without flinching. It has just the right balance between body and fruit. With its rounded tannins and mouth-filling generosity."

The wine is softly saturated with black currants, blueberries, spearmint and black olives for a comforting, mouth-filing expression that is at once powerful and gentle. It feels layered, deep and creamy." – Wine Enthusiast - Tasted: Sept. 2023

A blend of 95% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc, it's full-bodied and richly textured, perhaps a bit warm and open-knit because of the summer's heat, but with a long, velvety finish attractively tinged with mocha and dark chocolate." – Joe Czerwinski, Wine Advocate - Tasted: June 2023

Drinking Window: 2022 - 2028 Size: 750mL Critic Scores: 95 CT Region: Napa Valley ABV: 14.8% "We ferment our Chardonnay in new French oak barrels; it is then sur-lie aged for 12 months with weekly stirring. We choose the best barrels for the Finch Hollow, showcasing a full-bodied Chardonnay bursting with brioche and honeysuckle aromatics. The palate layers flavors of yellow peach and ripe melon with tropical fruit undertones; the textured mouthfeel gives way to a distinctive, lingering finish. The grapes for all Jarvis wines are grown on hillside vineyards, which were originally planted in 1986. The winery and vineyards are located in the Vaca mountain range, about 1,000 feet above the valley floor and four miles east of the city of Napa. The cool mountain growing region provides moderate temperatures for optimum ripening of the grapes." - Winery Notes
