Argyle 1998 Nuthouse Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley)

Country: US / Nuthouse
Variety: Pinot Noir Oregon
Winery: Argyle / Willamette Valley

This one is all about the seductive and sexy side of Pinot. The ample bouquet is pure elegance, with an atypically rich cherry and chocolate character. The luscious mouthfeel supports the plummy flavor, which is accented by clove, lavender and anise. For a big and chewy wine, there’s structure, but overall it’s a friendly softy. Drink now or over the next few years.
