Our founding winemaker, Rollin Soles, came to the Willamette Valley in the 1980’s to make this wine. It is the foundation on which everything at Argyle is made. The 2016 vintage has Pinot Meunier in the blend, giving it a lovely floral component.

Black Brut has become a cult classic at Argyle. Fully pressed red wine is put under tirage for Argyle’s traditional minimum of three years. The smokiness of this wine is a lovely match with barbeque ribs.

From our highest elevation site for still wine, these grapes are always last to be picked in order to develop complexity. We ferment this wine with 30% whole clusters and do not fine or filter, further accentuating the flavor density. 

Extended Tirage Brut is aged for ten years on the yeast and disgorged on demand to ensure freshness. Argyle’s Tirage Library in Dundee has sparkling wines still aging on the yeast, dating back to our first vintage in 1987.

A special release of our first (and possibly only) Sparkling Rosé blended exclusively from three special blocks at our preeminent Knudsen Vineyard. 

One singular varietal grown on one solitary block from one single vineyard in one sparkling vintage. Argyle Blanc de Blancs makes a singular statement for American grower sparkling wine.

As they do in Champagne, we create the beautiful color of this wine by the addition of fully-fermented Pinot Noir, which maintains purity of fruit and floral aromatics. The red wine component makes it a versatile food wine – even standing up to steak.

This wine is sourced primarily from a very special single block of Pommard Clone Pinot Noir planted in 1974. It is one of the oldest and last standing own-rooted plantings in the Valley.

Spirit Hill Vineyard is Argyle’s highest elevation site where the Van Duzer winds whip through the vineyard, keeping this wine fresh and crisp. Perfect with oysters on the half-shell.

Named after the spirit of Lena Imus who is said to still roam the halls of our 1850s farmhouse, Spirithouse is all about the beautiful combination of power and elegance, and is only crafted in vintages when we realize Argyle at its rarefied best.

Nuthouse wines were created to be Argyle’s expression of pure fruit and luxury. Nuthouse style is the ultimate showcase for this warm, opulent vintage, making it delicious now but also cellar-worthy for at least a decade.

Argyle was the first in the Willamette Valley to plant a full vineyard of the Dijon Chardonnay clone in 1995. Nuthouse is the epitome of full-bodied ripeness paired with the laser focus of classic Willamette Valley Chardonnay.

Sourced from just three blocks at the top of our Lone Star Vineyard, this Pinot Noir leans towards the fleeting, red-fruited, floral spectrum of the Eola-Amity Hills.

Our first ever Lone Star Chardonnay comes from a single block which is defined by fresh, floral, and citrus with tense acidity and spicy length.

Our Reserve is a blend from all three of our vineyard sites and Argyle’s showcase of silky, vibrant Willamette Valley Pinot Noir. The incredible value and consistency makes this wine a staff favorite.

Our Reserve is a blend from all three of our vineyard sites and Argyle’s showcase of silky, vibrant Willamette Valley Pinot Noir. The incredible value and consistency makes this wine a staff favorite. Half-bottle (375 ml) format.

Our first Reserve Chardonnay release since 1999, this blend of Dijon Clones from our three estate vineyards has a nice balance between mineral and slight oak, showing deep fruit and freshness.

Argyle Minus Five Riesling takes its own sweet time. Late-ripened at Lone Star Vineyard & frozen to -5F after picking, the clusters are slow pressed until the frozen berries release their sweet, concentrated juice.

Our vineyards tell new stories each vintage. Our winemaking is informed through a conversation between sun & rain, warm days & cool nights. Argyle Pinot Noir celebrates this dialogue with a simplicity, purity of fruit & silky texture that rewards curiosity & inspires conversations of your own.
