Argot Wines Chardonnay Simpatico Ranch 2014 - First Bottle

Reviews

94+ Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate -
Produced from Old-Wente clone selection, the 2014 Chardonnay Simpatico Ranch is barrel fermented and uses 100% malolactic, with 19 months in French oak, 50% new. It has a pleasantly "wild" nose of baker's yeast and salt-crusted almonds with a core of grapefruit, white peaches and orange peel plus a waft of honeysuckle. The palate is tightly-knit and medium-bodied with plenty of intensity and savory / citrus layers, finishing long and yeasty. As an addendum, I just loved this wine and monitored its progress for several days. It is incredibly stable and in fact just got better and better!

Oh mama. Justin Harmon is on FIRE right now! Impossible to find anywhere but at the winery or on the North Bay's deepest wines lists! This is a micro-production gem of a wine!

Just the facts, Jack! Wine Advocate 94+ (“salt-crusted almonds with a core of grapefruit, white peaches and orange peel plus a waft of honeysuckle”), down from $60 to just $44.95 on 6 with free-shipping!! 

Justin Harmon caught the winemaking bug from none other than Russell Bevan, but Justin has a more Burgundian sensibility with this Chardonnay that is evident here, especially from this cool climate, windy site in Bennett Valley. This is LUXURIOUS, complex, wonderfully layered wine, and CRAZILY well-priced. We are of the mind that you ALWAYS need a few bottles (at least) of a wine like this around for drinking and sharing. Right?

About the Producer

Justin Harmon, former computer programmer from Chicago, came out to Napa to work harvest with Russell Bevan in 07, 08, 09, got the bug and packed up his life to move to wine country to start Argot. Now Justin's wines are garnering huge scores and a loyal following. Keep up the good work Justin!
