Argyle Reserve Chardonnay Willamette Valley Oregon 2019

Founded in 1987 as Oregon’s sparkling wine house, Argyle quickly stood out as a study in contrasts – honoring the deep traditions of wine and embracing innovation and experimentation; proud to be Oregonian and pulling knowledge from winemakers around the world. When common knowledge said a winery could produce great sparkling wine or great still wine Argyle asked “why not both?”, answering the question with acclaimed still and sparkling wines. Deeply established in the Willamette Valley, yet young at heart, Argyle is led by stand-out winemaker Nate Klostermann, and innovative viticulturist Geoff Hall, who work together to explore and expand the possibilities of modern winemaking. Together they create world-class still and sparkling wines from Pinot noir, Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier, and Riesling.

This special Reserve bottling combines the character and complexity of three of the Willamette Valley's most revered vineyards: Knudsen, Lone Star and Spirit Hill. Aged in French oak for 16 months, it embodies the vibrant beauty of Willamette Valley Chardonnay. Crisp apple, Meyer lemon, and ginger are poised with spicy lees-aged texture and energetic length.
