Item Description

Three (3) bottles of Jarvis Merlot 2006, 2008 and 2012.

Tasting notes: A select portion of Merlot is bottled as a varietal wine which has become on of our most sought after wines. Before bottling, the Jarvis Merlot 2006 vintage was aged 18 months in new French Nevers oak, allowing the wine to integrate its red berry flavor characteristics into a wine particularly food friendly. Composition is 89.4% Merlot, 8.5% Cabernet Franc, 2.1% Petit Verdot.

Before bottling, the Jarvis Merlot 2008 vintage was aged 20 months in new Haute Futaie French oak, allowing the wine to integrate its red berry flavor characteristics into a wine that is particularly food friendly. It is 100% Merlot and bottled unfined and unfiltered, delivering wonderful flavors of ripe dark cherries, chocolate, cassis and exotic flowers. 

The Jarvis Merlot 2012 vintage was cave fermented and aged 18 months in new Haute Futaie French oak, then bottled unfined and unfiltered. The 2012 release is 100% Merlot and is especially flavor intense, with an appealing range of plum, black cherry and spice flavors along with a hint of toasty vanilla on the finish.
