Int'l Wine Review
The 2023 Purple Hands Lone Oak Ranch Pinot Noir from the Willamette Valley spent 10 months in 10% new French oak and is crafted from a mix of sites across the valley. Aromatically, it opens with dried rose petals, black tea, and subtle hints of forest underbrush. The palate leans into black raspberry, stewed plum, and crushed cherry, layered with savory elements like roasted umami and tamari. Earth-driven and textured, this Pinot Noir offers a persistent mineral thread and umami richness that deepen through the finish.

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.

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.

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.
