It seems only natural that Rollin Soles is making Sparkling Wme once again. But this time it's under his own label, RMS (Rollin Michael Soles) and produced at his own ROCO Winery.
In 1987 when all other Willamette Valley wine producers were focused on Pinot Noir, Rollin was building Oregon's first Sparkling Wine production facility in Dundee, Oregon, Argyle Wmery. Rollin, having recendy arrived in Oregon from Australia where he made wine at Petaluma Winery, had his own vision. He believed that Oregon was the best place in North America to grow cool climate grapes for Sparkling Wine.
During his 27 + years with Argyle, Rollin crafted some of the most highly acclaimed New World Sparkling Wines, including Wine Spectator's Top 100, (three times for Sparkling Wine). Proof that he has mastered the sophisticated craft of nne Methode Champenoise; and that the Willamette Valley's cool, maritime climate is indeed ideally suited to world-class sparkling wine production.
In the spring of 2016, Rollin disgorged 200 cases of 2013 RMS Sparkling Wine as a preview of things to come. A second disgorgement took place in the summer of 2016 for release nationally. Following in the tradition of the great houses of Champagne, an additional 200 cases will be held for future disgorgement.
