Founded in 1987, Argyle wanted to make sparkling wines that could hold their own with Champagne. Comprised of mainly Pinot Noir, there is 4% Chardonnay blended in with this 2019. What at first seems a mild sparkler, with notes of brioche bread, soft lemon and mild apricot, reveals a different side. The stone fruits and minerality come out mid palate and finish strong. Acidity is the real story here revealed with this wine, making this ideal with a variety of foods. This offers a clean very linear finish (avoiding any hint of sweetness or the very common green apple tartness), therefore this shows off what Oregon does best in general with their wines – an earthy, stone influenced, mineral driven wine. 670 cases.
