Nuthouse

2005 Willamette Valley 100% Dijon clones Chardonnay

The Argyle Nuthouse is a stunning example of a Chardonnay that showcases the exceptional qualities of the Dijon clones. Hailing from the picturesque Willamette Valley, this wine offers a bright and radiant white color that immediately captivates the eye. On the nose, aromas of green apple and pear intertwine with delicate floral notes, leading to a complex and inviting bouquet. The palate reveals a harmonious balance with a medium body that provides a pleasing weight while remaining effortlessly elegant. The acidity is bright and refreshing, adding a mouthwatering liveliness to each sip. With a fruit intensity that is prominent yet refined, the flavors linger beautifully on the finish, accentuated by subtle hints of minerality. This wine is truly a delightful expression of its terroir, making it a wonderful companion for a variety of dishes or simply to be enjoyed 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.
