Nuthouse

2009 Eola-Amity Hills Pinot Noir

The Argyle Nuthouse, a remarkable 2009 Pinot Noir from the Eola-Amity Hills, features a vibrant red hue that captures the eye. This wine showcases a silky texture, creating a delightful experience on the palate. It boasts a refreshing acidity, which enhances its bright character while perfectly balancing the flavors. The fruit intensity is pronounced, revealing lush notes of ripe red berries combined with subtle earthy undertones. With a medium level of tannins, it offers a graceful structure that provides depth without overpowering the fruit. The wine is dry yet remains approachable, making it an excellent choice for both casual sipping and food pairings alike.

Willamette Valley
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.
