Argyle, Oregon (United States) 2015

 As a wine taster, I see my job as giving each wine due consideration, taking care to notice things when tasting through a set that might get missed due to distraction, tasting order, etc., and I had the sense that I might be overlooking this wine when it seemed a bit dull after tasting some deeply flavorful French sparklers.  I capped it and revisited the following day, and I’m glad I did.  This is a nuanced, subtle offering that enchants on the nose and in the mouth, with rosewater, strawberry, citrus and stony minerality presented in very dry style on freshening acidity that waters the mouth and leaves lingering fruit and charm in the finish.  A well realized expression that for me needs no accompaniment.  Contains 55% Pinot Noir, 40% Chardonnay and 5% Pinot Meunier.
