Really distinctive. Snappy acidity, bracingly floral, salty melon and candied citrus, crushed shell. Like a Mediterranean sauv blanc — 3 years ago

2012. Still hints of all the flavors I love from this Chard. Just can’t let it sit around for too long or profile changes. — 8 years ago

A bit flabby and flat- separated on the tongue. Not too far gone, flavor still there, but should have popped it a year or two earlier. Still, fun bowling!

Plush fruit but structured. Textbook use of how new oak should be used. Not overwhelming but enough to frame the beautiful fruit. This is my ribeye wine. — 4 years ago

First time trying and wow - nicely woven integrated wine but my friend and fellow wine nerd @Shay A says it best so borrowing his comments from 2018 and I quote

“Jarvis winery is one of my all time favorite winery visits in Napa. Their caves are the most impressive I've seen, along with their natural springs running through the tunnels. Their merlot is my favorite out of Napa, and their
Cab Franc is a close second. This is 95% CF, 5% merlot. It balances ripe Napa CF and Loire Valley CF. Streak of green bell pepper down the middle with herbal spice, ripe
blackberry and stemmy dark fruits. There is plum, and spice cake on the finish. This needed an hour+ for the mid palate to beefen up and match the entry and finish”

Bravo and well said Shay - glad I found my patience with this wine bud — 4 years ago
