2005 Argyle Brut Tasting Notes

Cool fall seasons help give our Sparkling wines a lift of freshness. The aromas of this 2005 Brut have multi-layered fruit expressions of d'Anjou pear and lemon meringue pie. This wine smells "creamy" with toasted oatmeal, yeasty goodness. Fruit flavors of yellow plum, d'Anjou pear crumble blend well with a hint of honey and a rich mouthfeel of "creamy" texture. The pinpoint bubbles carry the flavor through to a deliciously long, long finish.

 
 

Wine Scores and Reviews for Argyle Brut

  • 2005: Wine Advocate 92   "Argyle's sparkling wine portfolio begins with the 2005 Brut, composed of 65% Pinot Noir and 35% Chardonnay. Medium straw-colored, this biscuit bubbly has tons of flavor, plenty of minerality and superb length. It is a great value in high class sparkling wine (and that includes Champagne)." -Jay Miller
  • 2005: Wine Spectator 90   "Light and creamy, with white pepper and oatmeal nuances to the citrus and pear flavors, lingering on the fine bead of a finish. Drink now." - Harvey Steiman
  • 2003: Wine Spectator 89   "Toasty, peppery and distinctive for its range of spicy flavors, letting it all ride on a fine bead as the finish persists. Drink now."
  • 2002: Wine Spectator 90 "SMART BUY"  
  • 2001: Wine Spectator 86   "Crisp, perfumy style has a strong floral and spice character. Finishes tart. Drink now. 10,514 cases made." - Harvey Steiman
