2007 Will Jarvis' Science Project

93 pts. - Gold Medal & Cellar Selection, The Beverage Testing Institute; 92 pts. - Wine Spectator; 93 pts. - Wine Enthusiast: A science lab project, commenced in the eighth grade, is the basis for this exciting new wine from Jarvis. Will Jarvis, son of the owners, picked the grapes and made a typical Jarvis wine for his project. Since it was an experiment he made just enough for a small barrel. When the wine had bottle aged 10 years and Will was finally old enough to taste it, he noted that its unique fruity taste had been retained all these years.
Will repeated his experiment in the controlled Jarvis winery cave environment again using a small barrel. The fruity flavor so astounded Dimitri Tchelistcheff, our winemaker, that a new product was born. The 2007 vintage has great finesse with soft but present tannins. It aged 9 months in half size barrels and is ready to be enjoyed now. It will continue to develop beautifully with proper cellar conditions until 2012. |
