Jarvis Winery Profile

Jarvis Wines Tasting Notes and Reviews

Profile: Tucked away in Napa Valley's eastern hills, Jarvis' cooler climate location provides the kind of fruit for producing the winery's two signature styles: tropical-fruit flavored Chardonnay and intense Cabernet Sauvignon. Housed in a custom-built cavern, the winery's experimental facility, complete with a running stream and waterfall, provides space for the entire winemaking process to take place underground, temperature controlled from crush to bottling.

Jarvis Wines We've Tasted:

1997 Chardonnay Varietal/Style: Chardonnay Origin: Napa Valley Vintage: 1997 Winemaker: Dimitri Tchelistcheff Rating: 14/20 Retail Price: $38 Tasting Notes: A fine example of Napa Valley Chardonnay, Jarvis has created a well-balanced wine full of character and complexity. Both the tropical aromas and flavors offer a level of delicacy beyond most Californian creations, but as is our objection with many American Chardonnays, we long for more fruit influence in the wine's full-bodied flavors.
