Here are the brilliant new still wine releases by Argyle.

Argyle

June 20, 2022

One of the founding wineries for Oregon Sparkling Wine, Argyle is located in the heart of Dundee, Oregon, right off Highway 99. I get nostalgic when I visit the winery and I was there earlier in the spring for a series of great tastings. It has been now 20 years since I first visited this Oregon house.

The talented Nate Klostermann led our spring tasting seminar — a sparkling wine blending trial. He has been crafting incredible wines since taking over for Oregon wine legend Rollin Soles. Nate does a killer job with his still wines and I adored the new 2021 Argyle Rose (OB, 91) which is lithe and beautifully textured with very pretty red fruits. Even better is the gorgeous 2021 Argyle ‘Nuthouse’ Riesling (OB, 93) which is round and generous with serious weight and delicious crisp flavors. All of these wines are under 30 dollars. Learn more about these beautiful wines at http://www.argylewinery.com Here are the outstanding new still wine releases by Argyle.

2021 Argyle ‘Willamette Valley’ Rose- The 2021 Argyle ‘Willamette Valley’ Rose was sourced from the Knudsen, Lone Start and Spirit Hill Vineyards, as this was mostly aged in stainless steel prior to bottling. Tart marionberry, cran-cherry and tobacco notes mingle well with plenty of weight and freshness on the palate. Enjoy this outstanding Rose over the next five plus years. Drink 2022-2027- 91

2021 Argyle ‘Nuthouse’ Riesling- Stored in neutral oak barrels, the vibrant 2021 ‘Nuthouse’ Riesling comes from the Lone Star Vineyard in the Eola-Amity Hills AVA. Made in the Trocken style, this shows sensational texture and weight, as this bone-dry bottling delivers Japanese pear, ginger, and white peach flavors alongside stony minerals. The tension and weight really drives this beautiful Riesling that will cellar well over the next seven plus years. Drink 2022-2029- 93

2020 Argyle ‘Willamette Valley’ Chardonnay-The very fresh 2020 Argyle ‘Willamette Valley’ Chardonnay comes from the Lone Star and Spirit Hill VIneyards, as this was stored in 15% new French oak for 12 months prior to bottling. Pear and walnut tones combine with green apple on the palate. Enjoy now. Drink 2022-2024- 90
