This beautiful Pinot Blanc introduces itself with wild flowers and honeysuckle on the nose. The light sweetness carries through on the palate, with lemony notes and those same wild flowers. This round and juicy acidic Pinot Blanc pairs well with a variety of seafood. Perfect for a summer night with some seared scallops, or grilled salmon with lemon and capers. - The Deux Verres Reserve is a floral and herbal wine with touches of red berries and hints of cherries. The soft tannins make this a food friendly wine and delicious for drinking right away or even cellaring for at least five years. Made in an Old World style, this wine is beautifully earthy and an elegant ode to our winemaker's home in Burgundy.
- Here is your burst of summer sunshine. From it's light coppery color to its aroma of pears and lovely floral notes, our Pinot Gris is your answer for the summertime feté. It has a nice acidity with a light sweetness and a mouthful of bursts of fruit that makes it food friendly and versatile.
- This special wine demonstrates the power and finesse of Pinot Noir from the Santa Lucia Highlands. It displays aromas of dried cherry, cola, spice and smoke. Flavors of cranberry and pomegranate are complemented by notes of almond skin and minerals. Perfectly poised fruit/acid balance make this incredibly food-versatile. It is a wonderful accompaniment to roast chicken and grilled salmon, as well as almost any duck, beef or lamb preparation.
- Aromas of rich cherry and raspberry with notes of rose petal. This nicely balanced and fruit driven Pinot Noir showcases a lovely purple red color and captures the essence of this wine.

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. -
Cloudline Pinot Noir has a brilliant ruby color and medium body, which is true to Oregon Pinot Noir. On the nose and following through on the palate, I find bright red and black cherries, with a framework of cola nut and ripe dark fruit. Tannins are soft, and the finish is graceful. This is a wine to enjoy tonight, or sometime in the next 3-5 years.” - Véronique Drouhin -
Tangerine and pineapple on the nose, this wine gives a punch of fresh peach, ripe pear and a hint of anise on the palate. With a mouth-coating viscosity and a lush lingering finish, this is a serious white wine. -
A combination of rich red fruit flavors with freshness and vibrancy unique to Pinot Noir grapes grown in our beloved Willamette Valley, this wine truly reflects the character of this region. We think the best vintage is pretty much right now, so start sharing with some with your favorite people. Bright and tangy, with juicy cranberry and raspberry flavors on the lively frame, lilting pleasantly on the finish. Drink now. -
Crafted exclusively from estate fruit, our Dundee Hills Pinot Noir is made in an elegant, approachable style. It has aromas of brambleberry and cherry with floral notes of lilac and violets and understated hints of cola and cinnamon. The palate features a purity of red fruit flavors, bright acidity and medium tannins. -
Sweet and soft with just enough spice and earth to make you sip twice, this Pinot Noir is our classy leading lady. Notes of roses, cinnamon, cherries and chocolate make this a perfect food wine, especially for nights that call for a little something more. -
Underwood is fast-becoming one of Oregon’s best values in Pinot Noir. Light and pretty raspberry fruit gains mass and flavor interest with well-integrated veins of stem and earth. It’s nicely balanced and true to variety.
