2018 Argyle Pinot Noir Willamette Valley- dark plum color, jammy cherry nose, slightly tannic flavors of black cherry and something herbal (oregano?), a tiny bit hot.
Dan-O (Happy Thanksgiving, all)
This is the regular issue yellow label? It's a good value and avoids the worst excesses of the region.
Argyle is better at sparkling wines IMO. Their Pinots are, for the Willamette Valley, rather clumsy in my experience.
Thanks for the notes, Dan.

LOL, no worries! It was a nice throwback for your reply to show up > > 2017 Trimbach Gewurztraminer Alsace -
Correct, sir. It was a zippy wine without any (bad) surprises.
It wasn't unpleasant, but I've had better PN's from Calif. Central Coast or NZ.
I think all of the Trimbach yellow labels tend to be safe values. I had some 89 yellow label Gewurzs at 20+,and they were fine The Quinto do Crasto wines are well done, but tend to be a little heady Thanks for notes Dan
