Estate
West Wind Vineyard, an estate vineyard, is situated in the middle of Ribbon Ridge at 400-600ft elevation. Originally blackberries & shrubs, Cody & Marque Wright planted
the first 6 acres of Pinot Noir in Fall 2017, and 8 more acres of Pinot Noir in Fall 2019. Organically farmed, planted with Pommard, Dijon (777, 115, 943) & Wadenswil on Willakenzie soil.
Tasting notes
Apricots, sandalwood, barnyard, brine, ocean salt, blackberry, maple syrup, bourbon, toffee, sherry.
Vinification
Purple Hands is a low intervention, purity-driven winery. Ferments are a mixture of techniques: native yeasts, and some commercial strains as needed. 25% whole cluster for 2023. Skin macerations are vintage-dependent styles. Wines are bottled unfined and unfiltered to retain the honesty of the vineyard and the vintage.
