Purple Hands Winery
Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
Honest pour to relax at my new digs after a hard day of work. 2800 cases made. Ruby red, light to moderate pigment extraction, excellent clarity. Fresh raspberry and strawberry aromas with a touch of funk. Intense raspberry flavor with strawberry and a hint of cherry. Light skin astringency, medium weight tannins, good acid but not quite tart. Could use a little time to take the edge off those skin tannins, at least 30 minutes. Solid fruit-forward Oregon pinot, with emphasis on fresh red fruit character; summer in a glass, Willamette Valley style. Good value too.

Oct 31st, 2017Classic wafts of twigs and berries.
Bright alpine fruits - strawberry, blueberry, rhubarb..
Deep wood anger high fiving Acidic athletics. - a unique back end.
This is part of that Oregon experimentation of the terroir that I love.
One of these things is not like the other.

Violet and red fruit, a bit savory and some cherry cola. Great wine.

Aug 16th, 2017First up, tobacco, sage, violet, and strawberry tart; then we have red plum and wet soil with a sprinkle of white pepper and satiny tannins. Surprisingly lean given the warmth of the vintage but still aromatically detailed and charming as hell.
