Grower Series

2012 Willamette Valley Chardonnay

The Argyle Grower Series 2012 Chardonnay hails from the esteemed Willamette Valley, a region known for its cool climate and diverse soils that allow for exquisite winegrowing. This white wine showcases a medium body, perfectly balancing its refreshing acidity and fruit intensity. On the palate, expect delightful notes of ripe pear and crisp apple, complemented by subtle hints of vanilla and toasty oak from careful aging. The tannins remain soft and elegant, contributing to a smooth mouthfeel that invites you to sip again. Dry yet with a pleasing roundness, this wine is a beautiful representation of the Willamette Valley's terroir, making it an excellent accompaniment to a variety of dishes or an enjoyable pour on its own.

Willamette Valley

The Willamette Valley is understandably most often associated with Pinot Noir. The cool-climate region has a unique relationship to this most delicate (and temperamental!) red wine grape. Lying on the same latitude as Burgundy in France, the Willamette Valley enjoys the perfect balance of sunshine and rain, proximity to the Pacific Ocean and protection on either side by the Coast Range and the Cascade Mountains. Along its 100 miles, the Willamette Valley boasts many distinct terroirs, so among its many brightly fruity, elegantly structured and blissfully fragrant Pinots, you'll also find exceptional Pinot Gris, Chardonnay and Riesling.
