Argyle Reserve Pinot Noir 2010

Aromas in these cool growing seasons are always “leap out of the glass” intense! Look for violets, spiced black cherry, and a hint of blueberry blossom. The black cherry component evolves into red cherry/currant aromas with time in the glass. (That’s like discovering the Fountain of Youth for Pinot Noir!).The texture is immediately a surprisingly dense mouthfeel, yet light on it’s feet. Pinot noir red fruits abound throughout the palate. There’s an amazing balance, where each segment of flavor from beginning, to middle, to the long finish is of equal intensity. This wine tap danced it’s way straight into my own personal cellar, indeed! (winery note)
