点评:Jarvis Estate, founded in 1985 by William and Leticia Jarvis, is a family-owned winery nestled on 1,320 acres in Napa Valley. Its 45,000-square-foot underground cave system provides optimal aging conditions for their acclaimed wines. Combining traditional methods with modern technology, the estate produces award-winning Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay while practicing sustainable viticulture.
We were able to enjoy a guided tour and tasting, while taking in the iconic architecture of Jarvis Estates caves. While digging the caves the construction company came across a water source and instead of finding a way to fix the issue they worked around it and made it one of the more iconic parts of the cave.
The tasting took place within the cave near the waterful which made for an incredible setting to taste wine. We were able to taste 9 wines while at Jarvis Estate which included the following wines; 2020 Finch Hollow Chardonnay, 2018 Cabernet Franc, 2018 Merlot, 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon, 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon, 2018 Petit Verdot, 2010 Lake William, 2015 Lake William, 2013 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, and 2019 Tempranillo.
Our favorite of the wines were the 2014 and the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon. Both showed great structure with pronounced notes of dark fruit and mint. The tasting also included cheese, dried cherry, and nuts. This was one of the most memorable tastings we've been on in Napa and a really great experience.
翻译:贾维斯庄园由威廉和莱蒂西亚·贾维斯于 1985 年创立,是一家家族经营的酒庄,坐落在纳帕谷 1,320 英亩的土地上。其 45,000 平方英尺的地下洞穴系统为其广受好评的葡萄酒提供了最佳的陈酿条件。该庄园将传统方法与现代技术相结合,在实践可持续葡萄栽培的同时,生产出屡获殊荣的赤霞珠和霞多丽。
我们能够享受导游和品酒,同时欣赏贾维斯庄园洞穴的标志性建筑。在挖掘洞穴时,建筑公司遇到了一个水源,他们没有想办法解决这个问题,而是绕开了它,使它成为洞穴中最具标志性的部分之一。
品酒会在靠近水源的洞穴内进行,这为品酒创造了一个绝佳的环境。在贾维斯庄园,我们品尝了 9 种葡萄酒,包括以下葡萄酒; 2020 年 Finch Hollow 霞多丽、2018 年品丽珠、2018 年梅洛、2016 年赤霞珠、2014 年赤霞珠、2018 年小维铎、2010 年威廉湖、2015 年威廉湖、2013 年珍藏赤霞珠和 2019 年丹魄。
我们最喜欢的葡萄酒是 2014 年和 2016 年的赤霞珠。两款酒都表现出极佳的结构,带有明显的深色水果和薄荷味。品尝时还品尝了奶酪、干樱桃和坚果。这是我们在纳帕参加过的最难忘的品酒会之一,也是一次非常棒的体验。
