The 2017 ‘Reserve’ Pinot Noir by Knudsen Vineyards is a barrel selection wine by Nate Klostermann. More dense on the nose than the entry level bottling, this shows suggestions of white truffle and wild blackberry that mingle with the earthy undertones. Soft and generous on the palate, this shows of a beautiful mouthfeel. Red and dark fruits mingle with minerals and shades of caramel and peat moss on the palate. The sense of balance is gorgeous here. While a delight to savor in its youth, this beautiful wine will cellar well for a decade or more. Drink 2019-2033- 92 — 5 years ago

Don’t drink much Zin, but this was enjoyable. Way more approachable young than some of the wines I have a hard time appreciating (can’t imagine enjoying, say, a 2021 Barolo) — 8 months ago

I'm generally a big fan of the Argyle sparklers, but this one was so much apple for a long time it was almost a cider. Eventually improved and turned good but definitely an unusual profile for an extended period. — 2 years ago

Beautiful sparkler from one of the best in the US. Bottle fermented and aged on the yeast for 10 years! 2009 was a warm growing season in Oregon, and the fruit for this vintage was harvested in 6 days! This is a creamy textured sparkler with hints of roasted hazelnut, quince/pear, and brioche. Beautifully long finish. 59% Pinot and 42% Chardonnay. 80% from Knudsen Vineyard and 20% from Lone Star Vineyard. Only 1,500 cases produced. It’s one of the best spelling wines I’ve had from Argyle. Get it while (and if) you can! — 5 years ago

We love this Chardonnay. It has a lovely smooth, buttery, semi-sweet/tart flavor with hints of green apple and a soft honeysuckle bouquet. — 2 years ago

Very close to being at its peak. Bright red fruit, pomegranate, cranberry, and hints of blueberry as well. Light in body, medium tannins, white pepper notes = very quaffable pinot noir. — 5 years ago
