The Wine: 2007 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
The Price: $21.99 at Safeway
Argyle is one of the many wineries in Oregon's Willamette Valley. Argyle was founded in 1987 by Rollin Soles. Argyle specializes in Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and sparkling wine.
The wine was stopped with a screw cap and was decanted an hour before tasting.
The Willamette Valley Pinot Noir is red in color, and far less dark than I am accustomed to seeing in Pinot Noirs from Oregon.
The wine has aromas of cherry, raspberry and pepper. The wine has a bright, almost tart cherry flavor, blended with berry. This is a good Pinot Noir. It's not my personal favorite, but it's a good wine and priced appropriately in the mid-range of Pinot Noirs.

Good region for Pinot!
What's your favorite higher-end Pinot Noir?
Wow. I'm a HUGE Sokol Blosser fan. They nail Pinot Noir. They are pretty much my benchmark.
