Master Series Extended Tirage Brut Oregon Pinot Noir Chardonnay 2009
Beautiful sparkler from one of the best in the US. Bottle fermented and aged on the yeast for 10 years! 2009 was a warm growing season in Oregon, and the fruit for this vintage was harvested in 6 days! This is a creamy textured sparkler with hints of roasted hazelnut, quince/pear, and brioche. Beautifully long finish. 59% Pinot and 42% Chardonnay. 80% from Knudsen Vineyard and 20% from Lone Star Vineyard. Only 1,500 cases produced. It’s one of the best spelling wines I’ve had from Argyle. Get it while (and if) you can! — 6 years ago

We love this Chardonnay. It has a lovely smooth, buttery, semi-sweet/tart flavor with hints of green apple and a soft honeysuckle bouquet. — 3 years ago

Dundee Hills Pinot Noir Reserve 2017
The 2017 ‘Reserve’ Pinot Noir by Knudsen Vineyards is a barrel selection wine by Nate Klostermann. More dense on the nose than the entry level bottling, this shows suggestions of white truffle and wild blackberry that mingle with the earthy undertones. Soft and generous on the palate, this shows of a beautiful mouthfeel. Red and dark fruits mingle with minerals and shades of caramel and peat moss on the palate. The sense of balance is gorgeous here. While a delight to savor in its youth, this beautiful wine will cellar well for a decade or more. Drink 2019-2033- 92 — 6 years ago

Knudsen Vineyard Brut Rosé 2015
I'm generally a big fan of the Argyle sparklers, but this one was so much apple for a long time it was almost a cider. Eventually improved and turned good but definitely an unusual profile for an extended period. — 3 years ago

Dundee Hills Pinot Noir 2016
Really great- baking spices and cedar plank on the nose mixed with mild plum or blackberries. Fruit is still balanced and secondary on the palate, with earthy, woody tones and mild tannins but not weak. Very well balanced and light to medium bodied, but not thin. — 5 years ago

Knudsen Pinot Noir 2014
Very close to being at its peak. Bright red fruit, pomegranate, cranberry, and hints of blueberry as well. Light in body, medium tannins, white pepper notes = very quaffable pinot noir. — 6 years ago
"Odedi"
Argyle Winery Spirit House Knudsen Vineyard Pinot Noir 2016, Dundee Hills, Oregon
A beautiful color of ruby red with medium intensity.
Fresh red berries on the nose with light oak, spices and chocolate notes.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with cherries, currants, light wood, chocolates, herbs, light red candy, spices and light green tea.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a delicious Pinot Noir from Oregon. Elegant and rich. Fresh and easy drinking right out of the bottle. Fruit forward and complex.
This 9 year old Single Vineyard Pinot Noir feels very fresh tasting but complex. Drank from a Magnum, so it might have been a little different.
Wil continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years. Would be nice to revisit it in 5 years.
A great sipping wine that will pair nicely with food too.
Pinot Noir grapes were aged for 16 months in (40% new) French oak barrels.
14.1% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
$165 (Magnum). — 3 months ago
