Argyle's Pinot Noirs begin with the 2009 Pinot Noir Willamette Valley. It is a savory, straightforward effort with ripe flavors, a supple texture, a sense of elegance, and moderate length. Drink it over the next 5-6 years.

This silky red shows pretty strawberry fruit, with a hint of licorice lurking in the background, persisting nicely. Finishes with finesse. Drink now through 2015. 19,200 cases made.

Description:
The aroma is surprisingly robust. Look for dark fruit aromatics like black berry, black cherry with nice Spice Route spicy complexity. The flavor is rich and robust as well. Black cherry folds nicely into lovely fresh earth on the middle palate. The ending is ripe black cherry and plum fruited.
