The 2016 Argyle ‘Nuthouse’ Pinot Noir follows up a line of exceedingly good ‘Nuthouse’ bottlings from this estate. This rendition is every bit as good as any ‘Nuthouse’ Pinot Noir that I have sampled in the past fifteen years. Needing a one hour decant, this shows beautiful range on the nose, from cran-cherry to forest floor to cigar ash. Once in the mouth this wine reveals a gorgeous texture that glides through the mid-palate. Sour cherry, boysenberry cordial, peat moss and a touch of milk chocolate flavors all complete this beautiful, complex Pinot Noir. Drink 2019-2033

Super smooth on the tongue with a fantastic flavor. A definite buy again if I can find it. Not cheap but well with it.

Bright, ripe raspberries, and strawberry. A sweet anise, a hint of cococola, and a whiff of classic Oregon smoke.

Fantastic. Powerful toward dark end of fruit spectrum, nuances of rose petal, truffle, and menthol. Surprising bit of tannin, but still soft. Perfume that reminds me of Volnay, but w the cherry candy notes of Oregon.
