Jarvis Red Wine Lake William Napa Valley 2016

Color: Deep garnet red with a brilliant rim.

Nose: The bouquet opens with enticing aromas of ripe black cherries, blackcurrants, and plums, layered with hints of cedar, leather, and subtle earthy undertones. Additional notes of cocoa powder, baking spices, and vanilla bean enhance the aromatic complexity, leading to a captivating sensory experience.

Palate: Full-bodied and well-structured, this wine delivers a rich, velvety texture, with polished tannins that create a luxurious mouthfeel. Flavors of dark berries, blackcurrants, and ripe plums dominate, followed by undertones of espresso, tobacco, and toasted oak. The wine’s acidity is beautifully balanced, adding freshness and vibrancy to the concentrated fruit flavors. The seamless integration of oak adds depth, while the long, lingering finish leaves hints of dark chocolate and sweet spices.

Finish: Long, elegant, and harmonious, with persistent fruit and a touch of minerality that reflects the wine’s mountain origins.
