DESCRIPTION
Tasting Panel From the ever-reliable Argyle comes this blend of 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay that aged ten years on the lees to yield a complexity commensurate with its verve. The notes of fig and apricot that enhance the warmth of bread dough, caramel apple, and Brazil nut on the nose also highlight the coolness of preserved lemon and green plum on the delicately creamy palate, where nimble acidity accords with a finish lightly dusted with white pepper.
Wine Spectator This handsome sparkler reveals maturity but remains vibrant, offering baked pear and Meyer lemon flavors laced with roasted hazelnut and spice accents that linger on the rich finish. Drink now. 1,800 cases made.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate The Extended Tirage Brut is composed of 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay. Base wines were fermented and aged in stainless steel (75%) and used barrels. It spent 10 years en tirage before disgorgement in July of 2023 and received three grams per liter dosage. It has alluring, layered aromas of mushroom tart, dried apples, autumn leaves, chamomile and chalk. The palate is wonderfully concentrated and savory. Its rich flavors and soft, creamy mousse are foiled by vibrant acidity.
