2024 Argyle - Pinot Noir Willamette Valley (750ml)
Argyle's 2024 Pinot Noir from Willamette Valley crafts a seamless expression of Oregon's premier Pinot climate. Drawn from four vineyard sites across the valley, this wine captures the diversity and harmony that define the region.
Winemaking emphasizes finesse: fermentation occurs in small 1.5-ton lots with hand plunging to preserve delicacy and minimize tannin extraction. The wine is aged to highlight purity of fruit and a lively, silky texture, with a restrained oak profile that keeps the vineyard character front and center.
Tasting notes reveal pretty cherry and cranberry fruit layered with toasty spice and orange peel. The wine carries bright, vibrant acidity and polished, fine-grained tannins that support a long, precise finish with real length.
Food pairing: roast duck, grilled salmon, or a savory mushroom risotto, dishes that complement the wine's balance of fruit, spice, and earthiness.
Argyle Winery, founded in 1987 in Dundee, Oregon, has earned recognition for its consistently praised red, white, and sparkling lines, and this Willamette Valley Pinot Noir embodies their multi-vineyard approach and focus on expressive, terroir-driven wines.
