The 2022 Purple Hands Lone Oak Pinot Noir is lovely and bright. TASTING NOTES: This wine shows aromas and flavors of oaky notes, sandalwood, savory spices, and blackberries. Pair it with an old-fashioned, slow-cooked beef stew.

Winery Notes

Purple Hands Vineyards celebrates site-specific pinot noir and chardonnay that unearth the Willamette Valley’s long evolutionary history. Using traditional winemaking techniques, they strive to produce wines that convey an honest expression of each of their vineyards—its grapevines and cultivation, soil and stone, sunshine and rain. All of their wines undergo native fermentation and remain unfined and unfiltered at bottling to preserve their natural, wild character. Achieving elegance in this pursuit is the passion and art of their craft.
