Kittmannsberg November Grüner Veltliner 2021

Brandon
* Overall - Refreshing, good with or without food. No complexity in flavors/aromas, but that’s not a bad thing, it’s simple and elegant.
* On the Nose - faint scent of stones
* Acidity - medium; balanced
* Body - light to medium
* Sweetness - low
* Taste - minerality. Slight grapefruit.

Cody
* Overall - I liked it better because it seemed less sweet and fruity
* On the Nose - toasty, not quite
* Acidity - medium
* Body - medium
* Sweetness - light, mild sweetness
* Taste - not sure

Purple Hands Winery

Latchkey Vineyard Pinot Noir 2014

Picked up this bottle at the winery when we met Cody Wright (Ken Wrights son). Boutique winery. Amazing. Drank well after 8 years. Would not let much longer. I could not wait anyway. — 3 years ago

Purple Hands Winery

Lone Oak Ranch Pinot Noir 2018

Tried several bottles, all great! Founded by Cody and Marque Wright, yes that family of the great Ken Wright Pinot’s very nice small production Pinot, 1700 cases, sourced from 8 vineyards. Ruby, purple hues with aromas of blue and red fruits with an array of spices. On the palate youthful flavors of cherry and fresh strawberry, licorice notes with elegant spice. Fine tannins, long ending with fruit and tangy spice and mineral notes. Great now but a few years will bring out more of the wines complexity. — 4 years ago
