Estate Grown Cave Fermented Unfiltered Finch Hollow Napa Valley Chardonnay 2018

Shay A
9.5

Jarvis is a winery I will always have fond memories of due to visiting it many times so early in my wine journey. While I enjoyed the reds (especially the cab franc and merlot), their Finch Hollow Chardonnay (both the filtered and unfiltered) were standouts. My last bottle!

A youthful bright yellow in the glass. Rich and integrated aromatics of salted popcorn, lemon cream and honey roasted cashews. Tidal wave of flavor on the palate that borders on hedonistic but pulls back just before. Oak is in-play with some baking spices and honey helping round the profile. Acidity has faded a bit but these have always had good phenolic grip, an almond skin-like finish. This reminds me of a blend of Aubert’s SugarShack (Napa warmth) with Kongsgaard (texture and grip). Not getting any better, this is a window that I have to imagine the winery was working towards. Delicious.

Will Jarvis' Science Project Napa Valley Cabernet Franc 2021

Jarvis will always have a special place in my heart and in the wine scene. To believe this was first made my Will Javis in 8th grade as a science project is iconic. You can taste the difference in using fresh oak barrels. This Cabernet franc would pair really well with lamb chops or a ribeye, Camembert cheese, or even some fire roasted veggies. — 7 months ago

Napa Valley Chardonnay 2017

Deep yellow color and strong aromas of vanilla, stone fruits. Wonderful strong, rich flavors of vanilla, oak, with subtle background of citrus lending acidity to keep it light and very drinkable. Not too oaky or buttery, everything to love about California Chardonnay! — 4 years ago

 This was the surprise of the evening. We decant this wine for several hours and it was still as tight as a drum. Certainly have never seen a 2012 hold up like this. Inaugural vintage.

I tasted this on Saturday at an event and thought it was completely shut down and flat. Reading this makes me think they didn’t give it enough air before pouring! Will have to give it another go sometime.
