Reviews

Wine Spectator 93

Expressive and handsomely sculpted, with rich raspberry and guava flavors accented by dusky spices and black tea. Builds tension toward refined tannins.

Wine Enthusiast 94

This beautifully balanced Pinot Noir is a barn burner of a deal for this price. The wine's earthy aromas are like a post-rain meadow filled with violets and lavender hyssop. The fruit on the nose and palate is a dark raspberry and blackberry combination, flanked by flavors of saline, sage and black tea. Muscular tannins have no problems keeping pace with all of that fruit.

Jeb Dunnuck 93

The 2023 Pinot Noir Lone Oak Ranch is a blend of fruit from the West Wind and Haakon Lenai vineyards. It pours a ruby/magenta color and is sunny and expressive, with notes of black cherries, raspberries, dark wet stones, crushed purple flowers, and light peppery spice. It fills the palate with ripe tannins, balanced acidity, and an expansive feel. It has all the DNA of Purple Hands for a killer value.

James Suckling 93

Aromatic and elegant, this has aromas and flavors of wild mushrooms, cloves, cedar and wild cherries. It's medium-bodied, bright and fresh, with excellent tension and a tight tannin frame. Drink or hold.

Vinification

Purple Hands is a low input, purity-driven winery. Ferments are a mixture of techniques: Pied de Cuve, native yeasts, and some commercial strains as needed. Whole cluster and skin macerations are vintage-dependent styles. Wines are bottled unfined and unfiltered to retain the honesty of the vineyard.
