Argyle Pinot Noir, Willamette, Oregon, USA 2022

Description

Showcasing the best of the cool, late season, Argyle’s Pinot Noir is boasting with vibrant acidity, tension, and polished tannin from start to finish. Like the gem that it is, ruby red cherry on the palate fades into black fruit at the edges with hints of black tea and rugged forest floor.

Nate Klostermann is the 2nd winemaker in Argyle’s 35-year history and has emerged as one of Oregon’s most gifted winemakers. He currently celebrates nearly two decades at Argyle and continues to say he “landed in a good spot” when he arrived at Argyle to work his first harvest. With his finetuned winemaking skills and passion for Oregon wine, Nate is now recognized for making elegant and complex sparkling wines along with vibrant and impeccably balanced Pinot noir, Chardonnay, Riesling and Pinot Meunier.

Wine Spectator 90

"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."
