Wines Revealed for World Wine Tasting to be Held in Napa, California

NAPA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The World Wine Tasting will be an audacious comparison of the leading wines from four other countries to wines from a leading Napa winery. This will not be another Paris tasting but will be more of a “Coming Out” for the Jarvis winery.

For the past 20 years, Dimitri Tchelistcheff and William Jarvis have dedicated themselves to making world class wines. Until now they have kept a modest profile but for the first time are emerging from their mountain cavern to showcase Jarvis wines along with the top wines from other countries of the world.

Jarvis wines will be tasted with their counterparts from Bordeaux, Burgundy, Spain, Australia and New Zealand. These wines will be tasted in a TOTALLY BLIND format. The exact wines to be tasted are now revealed for the press.

French:	Chateau Margaux, 2006	American:	Lake William, 2006
	Chateau Haut Brion, 2006	(Jarvis)	Cabernet Sauvignon, 2006
	Chateau Mouton Rothschild, 2006		Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve, 2006
	Chateau Latour, 2006		Will Jarvis’ Science Project, 2006
Spanish:	Flor de Pingus, 2008 Psi, 2008	(Jarvis)	Tempranillo, 2008
Australian:	Leeuwin Art Series Chardonnay, 2007	(Jarvis)	Finch Hollow Chardonnay, 2007
New Zealand:	Kumeu River Maté’s Chardonnay, 2007		Finch Hollow Unfiltered, 2007
French:	Bouchard Chevalier-Montrachet, 2007		Chardonnay Estate, 2007

The World Tasting will be on Saturday, October 9th in Napa.

Unlike other wineries, JARVIS is totally underground in a 45,000 square foot cave, an eco-friendly facility that houses fully operational wine production and cooperage as well as the winery offices and hospitality space. The focus on quality began in the vineyards when just four zones totaling 37 acres were cherry-picked from the 1,320 acre JARVIS Estate. Limited-production, luxury wines that total less than 9,000 cases annually are the result of this commitment to quality.
