Single vineyard Napa Cab. Bold and everything you’d expect from a high quality producer’s passion project. So much aging potential. — 5 months ago

Tough to find a chard from Pritchard Hill (including this one now - replanted to cab) but after a decade fruit is still dominate with a subtle integrated oak finish. — 6 years ago

I am really digging this Pritchard juice!!
Deep dark and luscious . It was a recommendation from Acme Wines and it lived up to the hype! I would definitely recommend. — 8 years ago

I can't say much more than I've said before - these wines are stunning to me and are truly among my favorites. The Panek is slightly more retrained than the Melanson to me but still displays rich and powerful blue fruits, a touch of brown sugar, and baking spice. This is a very rich wine and I love it. Thank you @leon egozi for sharing this. — 9 years ago

Beautiful Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon blend from several vineyards, including Melanson (Pritchard Hill) and To Kalon. Wine is mountain fruit driven. Dark fruit, forest floor and spice. Silky and well balanced. Opened up nicely after two hours. — 8 years ago

Love anything Pritchard Hill and for such a young wine it displayed a lot of character. Big and structured but somewhat light on its feet. I would like to see this again in 3-4 years. — 10 years ago

On my first trip out to Napa (2015), Jarvis was one of the favorites, and so we went back in 2016 and again in 2018. We go to Napa every year, and it’s one of the only wineries we have visited multiple times.

This was part of a retrospective on 2012 Napa cabs, alongside Shafer HSS, Scarecrow, Morlet CdV, Bryant DB4, Dominus, Pulido Walker Melanson, Kapscandy, Buccella Cuvee Katrina Eileen and others. Definitely the most restrained.

For some reason, I always get a streak of green peppercorn on all of the reds from Jarvis. It’s not off putting, just a signature of the winemaking. I’ve never found these wines to be overblown/high alcohol. They aren’t quite Bordeaux like, but they are clearly in between current Napa style and a restrained bridge to Bordeaux. This 2012 was true to the above. Aromatics here has green peppercorn, tar, underripe black fruits and a very fragrant potpourri note. Even after being open a few hours this was strong with zippy acidity surrounded by pepper crusted blackberries, mocha, black cherries and even some leather (not Brett driven, though). Blind, maybe someone takes this to left bank Bordeaux in a ripe vintage…but the kiss of sweetness is hard to take away from Napa. Wonderfully delicious and complex Cabernet starting to enter a great drinking window.

@Celia Welch -Fabulous right now!
Corra is always a treat! Kudos! All integrated, smooth like velvet, deep, dark, blue & black fruits, gobs of glycerin, long finish. Just a great drinking experience! 2012 is in a good spot right now to enjoy! Looking forward to the 2012 Melanson Pritchard Hill next along with the 2015 Corra Cabernet! Enjoy if you’ve got it!
Cheers! 🍇🍷👍🏻 — 8 years ago
