Argyle, Willamette Valley (Oregon) Sparkling Wine “Extended Tirage Brut” 2013 ($85)

I have been impressed with the extended tirage program at Argyle for some time now, and this continues the string of successful high-class bubblies. Tasting it blind alongside a French Champagne at similar price point, this shows a depth of character that is worthy of the company, with the added bonus of ten years on the lees. Another high recommendation in the line. Contains 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay.
