Retail ~$20. Disclosure: I paid $12.99 at the PLCB for personal consumption. Alright, we all know that I am but a shill for Argyle–I do not receive any sort of compensation whatsoever from these guys, but I have been enjoying their wines for years. This was no different. It has received some mixed reviews on Cellar Tracker, but I found this to be very good. A bit muted but then some petrol on the nose along with a bit of pineapple. Too cold initially, but as it warmed, much more expressive with a medium to long finish. Will likely buy some more. Very Good. 89 points.
PLCB never has Argyle available through Chairman's Selection. This explains the fire sale pricing. Skip this one, folks. Disjointed, lacking acidic edge, kind of a mess on the finish. The "flawed" bottle below probably wasn't flawed. Just underperforming juice.

Intense smell and taste erasers. Finish is short. A few hidden notes of stone fruit. At 12.5% etoh it still isn't particularly acidic. No minerality. Finish is short. Residual sugar @ 1% makes it an easy simple sipper if not particularly pleasurable.

I'm "assuming" the bottle was bad - however if not, this was a disappointment. Bouquet: Rubber and peach. Palate: Apple juice front, heavy tangy mid, majorly sour finish.

I agree with previous reviews...unbalanced, acidic and sour. Not a pleasure to drink. Disappointing from Argyle
