While we are huge fans of Argyle wines<\/a>, especially the sparkling varieties, we\u2019ve never treated ourselves to their Ros\u00e9 until now. What\u2019s our excuse? We have none. Except that we hadn't run into a bottle until a recent visit to the new Urban Grape<\/a> South End location.<\/p>\n

Our only hope of redemption is to spread the word about this 2008 Argyle Brut Ros\u00e9<\/a> as part of our Sparkling Resolution for November. <\/p>\n

As longtime Ros\u00e9 lovers, this Oregon<\/a> offering is a nice balance of fruit and acidity. Argyle Winery<\/a> describes the aroma as \u201ccomplex and delightful.\u201d They point to hints of roses, red berries, and spice with a \u201csuper rich\u201d flavor. \u201cThe finish is a long \u2026 like enjoying the leavings of the best strawberry shortcake you\u2019ve ever enjoyed.\u201d <\/p>\n

I was happy just sipping the wine all on its own, but it also matched very well with the charcuterie<\/a> we added to the mix. <\/p>\n

Penny always says, \u201cThe sign of a really good Champagne<\/a> is when you really don\u2019t want it cold!\u201d This sparkling Ros\u00e9 drank well through all temperatures, especially when it warmed. <\/p>\n

Here\u2019s to November! We can\u2019t think of better way to begin a new month. Another glass worthy of a toast to a great winemaker \u2013 Argyle\u2019s, Rollin Soles<\/a>. <\/p>\n
