ROCO by Argyle's Rollin Soles

94 Points for ROCO
Private Stash 05
from Wine Spectator!


Wine Spectator's TOP 100 WINES OF THE YEAR lists have included wines made by Rollin Soles seven times - more than any other Oregon winemaker. Rollin is co-founder and winemaker for Argyle, one of Oregon's most successful wineries. ROCO is his personal wine, made for family and friends.

The Private Stash wines are intense Pinot noirs with notes of blackberry, huckleberry and spice that show plenty of promise for cellaring through 2015.

ROCO
Private Stash Pinot noir 05
$74.95/$67.46

Wine Spectator 94 points: "Supple, graceful and deliciously complex, offering dark plum, blackberry and black olive flavors on a plush texture. The flavors linger expressively against wisps of tannins. Drink now through 2015." —H.S.

ROCO Private Stash Vertical
$450/$405
Two bottles each of the 2003, 2004, and 2005 vintages.

100 cases were made of each vintage. A few verticals from Rollin and Corby's home cellar are available here. Try the wines Rollin and his family, with so many Pinots to choose from, drink at home.

Avalon sent the 2004 Willamette Valley Pinot noir and the 2004 "Private Stash" to our Reserve Pinot noir Club when the wines were virtually unknown. Now, with the Wine Spectator 94 point rating fr the 2005 Private Stash, ROCO is on the map as Oregon's hot new Indie winery.
