title: Argyle 2005 Reserve Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley)
description: Argyle's reserve shows more barrel flavor than the regular Willamette Valley bottling, highlighting an interesting mix of Asian spice and coffee. But the tannins are oddly absent; there seems to be a bit of a hole in the back of the wine. It opens beautifully, then hits a dead spot. A good wine, but missing something.
variety: Pinot Noir
designation: Reserve
