The 2007 Brut Knudsen Vineyard is fuller-bodied, richer, and rounder. White fruits, citrus, mineral, and wheat thin aromas and flavors lead to a fruit-filled, well-balanced, and lengthy offering that will deliver pleasure over the next 4-5 years. As usual, Argyle’s sparkling wine offerings are among the best made in the USA.Tel. (503) 538-8520; www.argylewinery.com

This is 100% barrel fermented, an 80% pinot/20% chardonnay blend, and at this age it is already showing lovely sherry notes and lightly oxidized fruit. Yet it retains enough youthful juice to be quite refreshing, with a finish that suggests toast and slightly oily nuts, layer upon layer.——P.G.(12/31/2004)—— 90

This is the most complex and elegant sparkling wine from Argyle, who pioneered Oregon bubbly. It's a barrel-fermented, 70/30 blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. In the mouth, it has a seamless, delicate presence, it's overall elegance expressed in the tiny, streaming bubbles and the crisp precision of flavors. Hints of cinnamon and licorice highlight a light, toasty finish.——P.G.(12/1/2001)—— 89
