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. 5500 cases were produced. Reviewed By Audrey Frick

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. Editors' Choice

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

Winemaking: 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 vintage. Lone Oak Ranch is intended as an introduction to Purple Hands, sold exclusively through our distributors. It is a cuvée from seven premier vineyards from five Willamette Valley AVAs: Dundee Hills, Yamhill-Carlton, Ribbon Ridge, Eola-Amity, and Mount Pisgah. This elegant Pinot Noir includes fruit from all of our vineyard-designates.
