The 2007 Brut Rose is the best that winemaker Rollin Soles has made to date. Medium pink-colored, it has an alluring perfume of strawberry, rose petal, cinnamon, and raspberry. Rich, creamy, and concentrated, this lengthy, flavorful effort is a hedonist’s delight. It merits pairing with the finest caviar or jamon Iberico. Rollin Soles is convinced that great Chardonnay can be produced in the Willamette Valley. He presented a vertical of Nut House Chardonnay from 1999 through 2007 to make his point. The wines clearly reflect vintage conditions with 1999 and 2002 showing particularly well and 2003 reflecting the effects of extreme heat spikes. Argyle’s Pinot Noir fruit was all picked pre-rain. However, there is no green or herbaceous character in any of the wines www.argylewinery.com

Half Pinot Meunier and half Pinot Noir, this bold and powerful sparkling rose shows pretty cherry candy, yeasty earth, and a finishing hint of bitter chocolate. Bone-dry, with full-throttle flavors.——P.G.(4/1/2010)—— 89
