Argyle 1996 Knudsen Vineyard Brut (Willamette Valley)

Country: US / Knudsen Vineyard Brut
Variety: Champagne Blend Oregon
Winery: Argyle / Willamette Valley

Argyle sets the standard for Northwest sparkling wine, and this wine beguiles from the beginning. The massive bead, citrus-scented bouquet and perfect fruit is balanced elegantly by palate-clearing acids and just a hint of toast. The wine is a 100% barrel-fermented blend of 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay.
