- It has a subtle, serious, slightly backward nose, with fresh herbals notes intermixed with notes of ripe fruit and a special quality of tannins, which are both grainy and fine, with very supple flavors and good acidity. This is a great Cabernet Franc.

- The Red Blend is 80% Malbec and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, both from Altamira, fermented together. The idea here is that the two grapes complement each other and, adding the sweetness of the Malbec to the bitterness of the Cabernet, make the wine more elegant. The nose is a little reticent as well as subtle, elegant, and ripe, with notes of damsons and black cherries intermixed with a whiff of herbs. The palate is medium to full-bodied, with fresh flavors of raspberries, cherries and spices alongside sweet tannins through the long, balanced finish.

- It has a sedate, well-defined bouquet of kirsch, cranberry, raspberry and that gravel note. The palate is full-bodied and well-balanced with earthy ripe black fruit. It is a little broody, but draws you in, and the finish is powerful but wonderfully focused. This is a classy Cabernet.
- A fruit-focused Chardonnay with great tropical fruit and pear aromas with a clean, crisp balance.

- A fresh Viognier with lively acidity and peach, floral notes and exotic fruit flavors.
- Lovely floral bouquet with mulberry, fresh fig and rose petals that is lifted and generous. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly chewy tannins, but the fruit is clean and fresh with zesty black currant pastille and strawberry notes towards the vibrant, elegant finish. This is very fine.
- An elegant and expressive Merlot with flavors of red fruits, dried flowers and vanilla.
- Zolo “Black” Petit Verdot has an intense deep red color with violet hues. The nose is intense, with aromas of blackberry, black currant and blueberry accompanied by spicy notes like clove and a delicate vanilla scent. Good structure and mouth feel, with a lingering and elegant finish.

A fantastic cross section of the Willamette Valley's finest offerings, our Reserve Pinot Noir is truly a celebration of balance. The fruit profile rides the line of red and dark fruit, and can lean in either direction depending on the day. Black cherry and Howes cranberry embraced by subtle, toasted hazelnuts, and vanillin. While the tannins are firm, but rounded, there is an underlying earthy minerality which drives the mid-palate through the long finish. While delving for pure fruit flavors and juicy acidity, Argyle hangs on their phenolic hat trademark silky texture which has been enhanced through cold soaking in small lot fermenters, along with aging 16 months in French oak barriques. -
