Jarvis Winery is a Napa Valley wine producer. It primarily produces red wines from Cabernet Sauvignon and other Bordeaux varieties, but also makes wines from Tempranillo and Chardonnay. It is perhaps best known for its extensive cave system that houses the entire winery and all its business operations.

The winery was founded by William and Leticia Jarvis, and had its first vintage in 1992. Since 1994, all wines have been made by renowned consultant winemaker Dimitri Tchelistcheff, son of the famed enologist André Tchelistcheff.

Jarvis produces all of its wines from estate-grown fruit. The estate's property is located on the Vaca Mountain range near Lake Berryessa, and spans more than 534 hectares (1320 acres) of land. However, it is planted to just 15ha (37 acres) of mostly Cabernet Sauvignon vines on the property's volcanic hillsides.

The grapes are vinified in a range of different fermentation vessels, depending on the wines. After fermentation, the wines are transferred to oak cuves from Cognac and allowed to settle before aging in 100 percent new French oak barrels. The wines are bottled unfiltered. One of Jarvis' top wines, the Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, ages 25 months in 100 percent new French oak barrels and is not released until deemed ready by the winemaker, usually more than five years after the vintage date.
