This is my second only vintage Argyle Pinot acquired from helping someone thin out a well stored from release cellar. The first was a 09' Cowhouse but that really seemed to have faded fruit and lacking where this Nuthouse 04' was better but maybe just my lack experience with them or their vintage wines. YMMV just wanted to not it for others as they both apparently are way out of drinking window. Just another reason to not buy so much you don't know whats there until too late hmmm.

Has not improved with additional aging; seems thinner than when I last tasted in 2014. Still a good wine but probably will not benefit from further cellaring.

I am in trouble. Big trouble. My wife left with one of the boys today to visit her parents and we are going to join them soon. Alone, watching March Madness, I ached for a Pinot. I decided to grab this one since it was past the CT drinking window (2013) and the last bottle was, well, ho-hum. This one wasn't. By a long shot. Great from nose (blackberry and cassis), through the mid-palate (rich, deep, and profound), and on to the finish (Whoa), this was by far the best of the half-case I bought back in 2007. Whoa. And one more Whoa. Outstanding. Plus. thedrunkencyclist.com

(ARGYLE PINOT NOIR NUTHOUSE) #2; VaynerPAZZZ; COLOR-classic P/N (ruby red); NOSE-very tight, little sour cherry; TASTE-elegant, some really nice classic Burgundian flavors, I enjoy the hint of asparagus meeting dried cherries, but overall, I find it a little light & lackluster, a little "DUMB" right now (may be young & come together); JR-90; GV-88

Settled in to a nice mature wine. Nice dark berries with a rich and earthy finish.
