Country: US / Finch Hollow Estate Grown
Variety: Chardonnay California
Winery: Jarvis / Napa Valley
Jarvis has assembled a great record with this bottling over the years. The 2012 fulfills all the basic California requirements for impressive Chardonnay, with ripe, flamboyant tropical fruit, pear and pineapple flavors, along with lots of sweet, buttery, vanilla-accented oak. This is one of the most decadent Chardonnays of the vintage, and while it’s a little soft, it is flashy.
