Argyle
Grower Series Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
Willamette Valley, Oregon, USA
Earthy cherry nose and palate with good acid. Burgundian in style. Very restrained for an exuberant vintage. Solid but not super exciting. Slightly one dimensional.

Clear, star bright and pure ruby, medium minus concentration and medium viscosity.
Clean, medium plus intensity aromas of red cherry, raspberry, strawberry, rose, clove, sweet candy.
Dry, medium plus body and medium alcohol, medium minus acidity and medium minus tannin, medium minus finish and medium complexity. This wine is good nose, light and fresh.
