Argyle on Artisan VineyardsArgyle Winery according to our man Chris Cullina: Grower First
Argyle is a Grower First.  For 30 years, we've focussed our attention at the source -continually improving our viticulture on 500 acres of vineyards in Oregon's Willamette Valley.  That commitment to improvement has been built on a bedrock of innovation and practice that are now Certified Sustainable.

Argyle Winery's privileged place in the world

First GrowerFirst Grower
From cutting edge vineyards come cutting edge wines.  Argyle is the First American Sparkling Wine to use Dijon Clones Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.  Making America's premier Grower Sparkling Wines also gives us the edge with our "World-beater" Chardonnays, Rieslings and Pinot Noir.  Argyle's Founder and Winemaker, Rollin Soles, has been recognized as Oregon's "Go-To-Guy" for consistently age-worthy wines from his fickle, cool climate region.

Argyle's success story is the direct result of nurturing a sense of community within our own Argyle family here at the winery as well as with the community of "Honorary Argylers" around the world.
