Last day in Napa Valley. Always bittersweet. We’ve been fortunate to visit Jarvis a few times over the years and they always do a fantastic tasting as well as tour. A must visit in Napa. Though we weren’t able to taste any Reserve Cabernets or their Unfiltered Finch Hollow Chardonnay, this merlot was probably my favorite of the tasting, though the normal finch Hollow Chardonnay was a close second! One of the few Merlots I actively purchase when I can. Dark but very clean/pure fruit profile of black cherry, cedar, nutmeg and a really lovely texture that is incredibly smooth.

Great balance but a bigger Merlot at 14.7%. Nice core of darker fruits and some tar like aromas which show the secondary aging. Lots of tannins in the bottom of the bottle. Will probably wait for 2 more years to open my next bottle.

Beautiful garnet color, light soft structure, aromas of oak, dark fruit, and alcohol. Dry jammy flavor, vanilla, and oak flavor. Lovely Christmas wine!
