Argyle was part of the second generation of Willamette Valley wineries that arrived in the late 1980s and followed in the footsteps of 1960s and ’70s pioneers such as Eyrie and Adelsheim. Located in the city of Dundee, the winery continues to be one of Oregon’s most dependable Pinot Noir producers, and this Willamette Valley bottling is the best bargain in the portfolio. The 2022 comes from all four of Argyle’s estate vineyards, sources that span the entire valley. Winemaker Nate Klostermann ferments the Pinot in hundreds of small lots. “Between our Lone Star and Spirit Hill vineyards in the Eola-Amity Hills, Giving Tree Vineyard in Polk County, and Knudsen Vineyard in the Dundee Hills, we have built a vineyard program that showcases the diversity of the Willamette Valley,” Klostermann says. Spirit Hill provides acid and tannins. Knudsen lends silky and floral notes. Lone Star offers richness and roundness, while Giving Tree provides the wine with its darkest fruit. 55,000 cases made.

Argyle Winery is consistently recognized for the quality of its sparkling wines. It is also the only winery in Willamette to produce wines that are consistently rated by Wine Spectator as the Top 100 Wines of the World in three categories: red, white, and sparkling.

Briary raspberries and sweet pea flowers are complemented by the wine's distinctive wet red clay aroma. Flavors of raspberries and aged balsamic vinegar are the main attraction on the smooth palate. Nicely balanced, with a lively bit of acidity and velvety tannins. Michael Alberty, 9/1/2024.
