Argot is a first-generation family-owned winery, founded by Winemaker Justin Harmon. Following three contiguous harvest internships, Argot was born in 2007 on the back of a single ton of Syrah. Adding Chardonnay in 2008, followed by Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon, Justin scaled production modestly and strategically until the 2011 harvest. That year, he met his now-wife and business partner, Beth Thompson, and together they were off to the races.
Over the last decade, Argot has enjoyed much praise from the wine press, with over one hundred 90+ ratings, and recently being awarded the prestigious “Winery of the Year” by Purely Domestic Wine Report. Justin and Beth attribute Argot’s success to their determination to source grapes from the greatest vineyards in Sonoma and Napa, craft world-class wines and an ability to create lasting and meaningful connections with each person they share Argot with.
