| Community Tasting Notes (average 89.3 pts. and median of 89 pts. in 35 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by mydi on 11/6/2015 & rated 89 points: after 2 bottles with no fizz, this one was perfect. Think lighter Pinot noir with nice bubbles. Very sexy. (1793 views) | | | Tasted by mydi on 8/16/2015 flawed bottle: bubbles were gone as was the last bottle. Good news is that the wine is still very good. (1763 views) | | | Tasted by mydi on 6/28/2015 & rated 88 points: Stil a nice rose but the bubbles are almost gone. Could be a bad seal. We'll see. 2 more to go. (1792 views) | | | Tasted by mydi on 1/1/2015 & rated 88 points: Lovely color, nice light bubbly . Went well with fruit deserts. (1926 views) | | | Tasted by suburbanfrog on 12/1/2013 & rated 92 points: Very good. I loved the fact that the main blending component of this wine was Pinot Meunier and the quality was so good. Just a little different than past vintages, I am sure due to all the PINOT MEUNIER in the blend, but just as good and refreshing. Anyone wanting to see what Pinot Meunier adds to the blend might want to try this wine! (2569 views) | | | Tasted by SaysNuts on 1/9/2013 & rated 90 points: Nice balanced fruit coming through on this sparkler. (1968 views) | | | Tasted by Madkat on 9/29/2012 & rated 93 points: Sparkling wines to me are all over the map, what one person likdes the other does not. For me, this Brut Rose was right on target. Great bubbles and a really great blush color. Nose of strawberries and notes of freash baked bread and minerals. Tight, tart, crisp and complex on the palate with those same notes of the nose coming through. Finish was great and left you wanting more. Much better, in my opinion, than the 88ish average. Enjoy. (2510 views) | | | Tasted by EricBe on 7/8/2012 & rated 89 points: This was a good "by the pool" wine on a hot day. (3076 views) | | | Tasted by pdemaio on 6/17/2012 & rated 90 points: Stawberry. Floral. Complex but a bit rough around the edges. (2689 views) | | | Tasted by DrX on 5/30/2012 & rated 88 points: - Pink color - Very good sparkling rose, well worth the price. (2151 views) | | | Tasted by cliffkol on 4/17/2012 & rated 88 points: Willamette Valley - Tasted at winery: smokey, floral, blue berries. (3028 views) | | | Tasted by Wine Sparty on 4/6/2012 & rated 90 points: Popped and poured with chili (might sound strange, but sparklers seem to go with anything). Aroma has stawberries and a bit of a perfumey smell. Taste is definitely strawberries, with some creaminess to it as well. (1645 views) | | | Tasted by manonthemoon on 4/5/2012 & rated 87 points: Pacific Northwest Tasting Trip Day 2; 4/4/2012-4/12/2012 (Willamette Valley & Portland): Tasted at the Tasting room.
Nose of raspberry, roses, and spice.
Palate of raspberry, pomegranite, spice.
Finish was average in length, okay cut. (2385 views) | | | Tasted by suburbanfrog on 4/1/2012 & rated 93 points: This one pushed all the right buttons for me with a sparkling wine. It had great mouthwatering acidity. The pinot noir fruit stood out with a nice strawberry flavor and a lingering aftertaste. Fruit was very lively. Kept me wanting more! (1717 views) | | | Tasted by mikeh2020 on 3/29/2012 & rated 89 points: Definitely very cava-like. Made me think of red berries and cream, with a hint of cinnamon. (1686 views) | | | Tasted by gripNsip on 3/24/2012 & rated 86 points: Blind Champagne and sparkling wines at Matt and Ori's (The new Pink Dolphin): Bright red fruits here, very delicious palate that is initially generous but turns tart on the finish. Some roughness where the acidity and bubbles meet. Overall simple. Served blind, guessed Cava. (2498 views) | | | Tasted by pdemaio on 3/14/2012 & rated 90 points: Stawberry. Floral. Complex but a bit rough around the edges. (1805 views) | | | Tasted by mjf@ulkner on 3/6/2012 & rated 91 points: Crisp refreshing strawberry flavors. A bit more vinous than regular Brut, a terrific house sparkling rose. (1761 views) | | | Tasted by 3daywinereview.com on 1/16/2012 & rated 82 points: Strawberry, spice and floral on the nose. The palate delivers a very bitter taste along with too much chalk. Short to medium finish and poorly made. This is not even close to as good as their regular Brut Vintage Sparkler. Avoid. (1904 views) | | | Tasted by David Paris (dbp) on 12/17/2011 & rated 86 points: Visits to Cristom, St. Innocent, Johan, Argyle, Dobbes, Chehalem: No formal notes... nicely fruited, with a tart and grippy finish. (2732 views) | | | Tasted by Discus220 on 8/18/2011 & rated 88 points: Dry but still very fruity. Layers of crisp red berries. Not overly carbonated. Fun. Would happily drink again.

| Argyle Producer website
Argyle farms three vineyards: Knudsen Vineyard, Stoller Vineyard and Lone Star Vineyard. The 120 acre Knudsen Vineyard was first planted between 1972 & 1974. The high elevation blocks of this landmark Dundee Hills site are key components in Argyle's sparkling wines. Knudsen provides Argyle a mix of old vine blocks and new high density blocks planted with "Old World" Dijon clones.
Just south of Knudsen Vineyard in the Dundee Hills sits Stoller Vineyard. First planted in 1995, Stoller, like Knudsen, is planted using state of the art viticultural techniques. Stoller Vineyard has produced some of Oregon's finest Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
In 1996 Argyle purchased a spectacular 160 acre vineyard site in the east slopes of Eola Hills, known as Lone Star Vineyard. Located 15 miles south of Argyle's winery in Dundee, this warm site is planted primarily to Dijon clones of Pinot Noir. This vineyard has the potential to be one of Oregon's best Pinot Noir vineyards.
All grapes are hand harvested into small baskets and transported to the winery. Grapes are chilled overnight to 35F before crushing the next day. Chilling preserves the ripe fruit characteristics and naturally limits oxidation.
Champagne Blend"Champagne blend" is a classic grape blend that typically includes Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and/or Pinot Meunier in any proportions.
However, this blend can also include Arbane, Fromenteau (Pinot Gris), Petit Meslier and/or Pinot Blanc as well.USAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.Oregon Oregon Wine, Oregon Wineries (Oregon Wine Board)Willamette Valley Willamette Valley Wineries Association | Willamette Valley (Oregon Wine Board)

Willamette Valley Vintage Reviews
Dundee Hills Dundee Hills Winegrowers Association website
Located just 28 miles southwest of Portland, and 40 miles inland from the Pacific Ocean, the Dundee Hills appellation is situated within an irregular circle of about 6,490 acres in total, of which more than 1,264 acres of vineyards are planted. This region is unique for its higher elevation, warmer nighttime temperatures, less low-elevation fog and frost, and lava-based Jory soil series of reddish silt, clay and loam soils.
