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.

This blend was created from small, mixed plantings of high density Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from Knudsen and Lone Star Vineyards, with a small amount of Pinot Meunier to enhance the floral aromatics and silkiness. The refreshing acidity is woven together with subtle lees texture and mineral length.  

A balanced blend, Pinot Noir establishes a savory core, while Pinot Meunier brings floral characteristics and Chardonnay adds brightness. Bright, medium salmon-pink hue in color and perfume of rose petal, orange peel, and clove lead to an elegant, supple structure, and ginger-laced finish.

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 2017 vintage has Pinot Meunier in the blend, giving it a lovely floral component.

Some of the few remaining vines in the Dundee Hills from the pioneering era in the 1970s, this own-rooted Pommard at high elevation expresses incredible density, complexity, and elegance. 

Pinot Noir builds red fruited depth and firm structure, while the increased proportion of Pinot Meunier this year highlights even more floral freshness and lift. Rose petal, cherry plum, and grapefruit are woven with creamy texture and dynamic length. 

Your favorite sparkling Pinot Noir has a new name: Ruby Brut. This fresh new name reflects the rich and deep gorgeous color of this wine (formerly Black Brut). Made of 100% high-elevation Willamette Valley Pinot Noir, it is intriguing, with a non-conformist approach to sparkling wine. This popular wine is sold out until the holiday catalog in the fall.

Aged on the lees for five years before disgorgement, one might consider this to be a baby Extended Tirage. Lemon peel, grapefruit, and gun flint, the extra time on lees highlights its creamy texture and vibrant, mineral length.
