2000 Blanc de Blancs Tasting Notes
It is amazing that Mother Nature should provide us with the perfect growing season for phenomenal sparkling wines in the beginning of the New Millennium! I believe this wine to be the most exciting Blanc de Blancs yet derived from Argyle. Mere words cannot describe the balance between zippy minerality and ripe creamy elegance contributed by tree fruit aromas and flavors of apple, Anjou pear, and a splash of white peach. Rich, creamy, and balanced from start to finish, remember this wine as your benchmark for great Blanc de Blancs.

- 1999: Wine Spectator 89 "Peppery, toasty aromas are prevalent in this crisp, mature, distinctive sparkler, the finish lingering well against a fine bead of effervescence. Drink now. 887 cases made. -HS"
