"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."
