Over the years Argyle has helped put Oregon Sparkling Wine on the map. Easily one of the great producers of sparkling wine in North America. I first visited this tasting room in 2002 and I can testify that what was one a small, unpretentious cabin used for tasting is now one of the most beautiful structures for tasting wine in OregonThe end of 2023 is nigh, and that means a number of great happenings will unfold before the calendar turns to a new cycle of days and nights…

Nate Klostermann is the winemaker behind our wine of the week winner — the Argyle, 2022 Rosé of Pinot Noir, Willamette Valley, Oregon, 12.5%, $22, 4.5 stars. Tangy red fruit of strawberry, raspberry and watermelon is buoyed by bright acid. With a hint of tangerine, this rosé finishes crisp. (Argyle Winery)

50 Best wines of 2023, Vinepair, November 15, 2023

“Founded in 1987, Argyle is one of the essential estates in the Dundee Hills sub-appellation of Oregon’s Willamette Valley. Though it makes both still and sparkling expressions of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, Argyle is most known for its precise, single-vineyard sparkling expressions, like this Blanc de Blancs. It has a rich nose with aromas of apricot, lemon zest, and almond biscotti. These notes are lifted on the palate by bright acidity and a delicate mousse.”
