Argyle - 2013 - Extended Tirage Brut - 750 ml.

Subregion: Willamette Valley

Tirage is the trade term for the sugar-and-yeast addition that triggers a wine's second fermentation inside the bottle. Extended tirage means the wine sat on those spent yeasts under crown cap for far longer than the usual minimum before being disgorged and corked. Argyle built its reputation in Oregon on traditional-method sparkling, and this brut carries a 2013 date, so it is a single-harvest wine.
