Argyle
Nuthouse Master Series Eola-Amity Hills Pinot Noir
Eola - Amity Hills, Willamette Valley, Oregon, USA
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

We bought this bottle at the winery while tasting in Williamette. We stayed directly across the street from Argyle but didn’t stop in until the morning of the day we left. Decanted one hour - drinking really well right now. Light, bright, earthy, and fresh - all the things we love about Williamette pinot. Red fruit on the front and subtle baking spice notes on the back. Damn good.

Juicy cherries, hint of ripe blackberries, blood orange, dried leaves, baking spices. Fine tannins, creamy finish. Aged on the lees for 16 months, in 35% new French oak. Love this.
