Process & Profile
Jarvis Cave Fermented Merlot Reserve Napa Valley is an exceptional small-lot Merlot produced entirely from estate-grown fruit and vinified within Jarvis’s remarkable underground winery. Hand-harvested from the steep hillsides of the Jarvis Estate vineyard, the grapes undergo fermentation and aging deep inside the winery’s subterranean caves, where consistent temperature and humidity provide ideal conditions for slow, even development. Aged for over 24 months in 100% new French oak barrels, this Reserve Merlot showcases the plush texture, elegance, and depth that define Jarvis’s signature style.

Finish: Long and supple with fine-grained tannins, warm spice, and a lingering note of mocha.
