2008 Argyle Brut Tasting Notes

This wine pulls you in from across the room. The soft straw color, the tiny streams of minuscule bubbles, and as you raise the glass, you get full aromas of creamy vanilla poached pear and fresh sour dough starter. The first impression on the palate is of how well balanced this wine is, playing the purity of fruit off of the fresh acidity while showcasing the wine's natural mineral notes. There are notes of ripe guava, red Anjou pear, Meyer lemon, and lightly toasted brioche, finishing with notes of honeysuckle and lemon curd. This is a delectable example of a fresh, vintage dated sparkling wine to impress and please.

Wine Scores and Reviews for 2008 Argyle Brut

  • 2007: Wine Advocate 90   "The 2007 Brut displays a bouquet of brioche, pear, apple, and white peach. Crisp, balanced, and lengthy, this outstanding value is meant for drinking over the next several years." -JM
  • 2007: Wine Spectator 90   "Tight, spicy and distinctive for the lemon meringue and spice overtones to green apple and toast flavors. Drink now. 11,623 cases made." - Harvey Steiman
  • 2006: Wine Advocate 91   "The 2006 Brut is a blend of 58% Chardonnay and 42% Pinot Noir. Medium straw-colored, it has a classy nose of mineral, biscuit, apple, and baking spices. Crisp, bright and creamy-textured, this superb sparkling wine begs the question, 'Why buy Champagne?'" -JM
  • 2005: Wine Advocate 92   "Argyle's sparkling wine portfolio begins with the 2005 Brut, composed of 65% Pinot Noir and 35% Chardonnay. Medium straw-colored, this biscuit bubbly has tons of flavor, plenty of minerality and superb length. It is a great value in high class sparkling wine (and that includes Champagne)." -Jay Miller
  • 2005: Wine Spectator 90   "Light and creamy, with white pepper and oatmeal nuances to the citrus and pear flavors, lingering on the fine bead of a finish. Drink now." - Harvey Steiman
  • 2003: Wine Spectator 89   "Toasty, peppery and distinctive for its range of spicy flavors, letting it all ride on a fine bead as the finish persists. Drink now."
  • 2002: Wine Spectator 90 "SMART BUY"
  • 2001: Wine Spectator 86   "Crisp, perfumy style has a strong floral and spice character. Finishes tart. Drink now. 10,514 cases made." - Harvey Steiman
