The state of Oregon is renown for making world-class Pinot Noir wines that have touched the hearts of wine-lovers everywhere but some may be surprised to learn that it produces some really elegant sparkling wines as well – if you want to call it Champagne, then feel free – I promise I won’t send the french “word-police” after you.
Argyle is one of the premier wineries in the state of Oregon with its reach and presence felt around the world – while its chief focus is on Pinot Noir, it also makes chardonnay, sweet riesling and sparking wines as well.

Nose: Peach, apricot and green apples on the nose – hints of rose petal as well.
Taste: Great acidity and bubbles on the palate which are surrounded by lucious fruit coming through. Profound jolly-rancher green apple flavor coupled with grapefuit, kiwi and some peach-skins. This is a really good bottle of bubbly and one I’d easily recommend to anyone – Argyle has done a great job of balancing the bubbles, acidity and fruit. Whether you’re celebrating a holiday or just life in general or simply want a good bottle of something with bubbles, this is a bottle of wine I know you’ll love.
