Willamette Valley

2020 Ruby Brut

One of the most iconic wines we release each year, the 2020 Ruby Brut is back — but only for a short time! This sparkling Pinot Noir dazzles with aromas of red cherries, rosemary, and sage, finishing with a clean, dry elegance. Staying true to the traditional method sparkling wine, Ruby Brut spends three years en tirage and is disgorged on demand.

World-Class Sparkling

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.

Vintage Notes

Arguably the most memorable winegrowing season in
modern Willamette Valley history, the 2020 vintage
was filled with various milestones. Ample sunshine
and welcomed bud break in April with bloom shortly
following in early June. Warm days a little rain
during the summer meant canopies remained strong
and vines produced a small but high quality crop.
Harvest began in late August with fruit designated for
sparkling wine shortly followed by still Pinot Noir and
Chardonnay grapes. Harvest shifted on September
7th with the influence of smoke from nearby fires.
Because of prior vineyard management practices and
a favorable ripening period, the grapes were harvested
as fast as they could be in order to reduce the impact
of smoke on the flavor of wines.
