I love everything Cody and the team are doing at Purple Hands. This an earthy, balanced Pinot with loads of ripe berries and a whift of your grandfathers pipe tobacco. Clearly a shining star in the line up.

Musty alcohol on the nose... a little funky smelling. Tobacco and coffee on the palate. Very smooth. ‘16 I’d a great year overall..

Very Burgundian in body and style. Dark cherry and blackberry fruit with hints of cola, milk chocolate, Earth and caramel. Almost a Creamy texture. Revisited in April 2021. Very austere and elegant. Getting better with age. Revisited again in February 2024. Simply outstanding! Aging gracefully!

I like all pinot sourced from Shea in Oregon. This is a new winemaker to me , good but light Pinot aroma. First impression is smooth and dark fruit. There is an mid tongue funk. Not much of a finish. I think this wine will improve over time.
