The Wine

Our Auction offering is sourced from one of the oldest blocks within our Spirit Hill Vineyard, which is located right next to a pioneer cemetery at about 700 feet above sea level. This wine is all Pommard selection, which has been the soul of Oregon Pinot noir since the start. This special block and wine have been carefully crafted and express the deep history of this rich, complex soil.

The wine from this historic cemetery-guarded vineyard has been hand harvested at peak ripeness and allowed to rest 17 months in barrel before going to bottle. The complex layers and bright savory aromas and flavors will stay with you and never be forgotten.

If you don't win this historic lot of Argyle pinot noir it will haunt you for decades. If you win this lot it will reward and please you for decades and decades.

The WInery

In 1987, Argyle Winery was founded with a belief that the cool climate of Oregon’s Willamette Valley was ideal for producing sparkling wines that could stand alongside the great wines of Champagne. To make exceptional sparkling wines, we understood that first we had to grow exceptional Chardonnay and Pinot noir, so we embraced a grower-first philosophy that was unique at the time in Oregon. This approach involved establishing one of the region’s most renowned estate programs. It also included developing methods that allow the Argyle team to respond to the character of each vintage by proactively tailoring farming on a block-by-block level to either still or sparkling wine—an innovative approach for an American winery, and one of the secrets to Argyle’s enduring success.
