I was craving a Pinot Noir. It has been raining, and somehow a white wine didn’t seem fitting.
According to the winemaker’s notes:
Argyle Pinot Noir is an honest representation of the Willamette Valley. Fermented entirely in small lots, and blended for purity, it toes the line between red and dark cherry, while offering spicy forest floor and hints of black tea. The palate is lively and graceful, building density and focus as the silky tannins build into the long, energetic finish.
All I know is that this is a great wine, I’m tired, and it hit the spot. Happy Father’s Day everybody!

Wonderful post! Last year Lex and I visited Elk Cove and loved their 2014 Clay Court Pinot Noir. Argyle sounds wonderful too!
It really is! I have yet to visit Elk Cove – I will have to make it a point to get there!
