Purple Hands Pinot Noir Shea Vineyard

Great releases form Purple Hands!

 Purple Hands was founded by Cody Wright, son of acclaimed winemaker Ken Wright


We had a customer looking for a "Shea" Vineyard Pinot Noir and realized we did not have one.  
We listen to our customers --- here you go...we found a good one!!!

2022 Purple Hands Pinot Noir Shea Vineyard....$62.99
From one of the highest elevations in this vineyard, the 2022 Pinot Noir Shea Vineyard is a transparent red hue and is aromatic of ripe cherries, spices, mossy earth, and a lightly gamey but clean earth note. It is an elegant and lifted expression of the Shea Vineyard, with bright acidity, fine tannins, and a more linear feel, and as it opens, it starts to show its broader shoulders and its deeper notes come through. Drink 2025-2040.
Rated 96/100 Jeb Dunnuck


We sold a bunch of this earlier in the year before the score arrived - we knew it would score big!!!!
2022 Purple Hands Pinot Noir Freedom Hill....$62.99
A richer reflective ruby hue, the 2022 Pinot Noir Freedom Hill Vineyard is a savory wine with notes of wet stones, graphite, pine, fresh black cherries, mixed berries, and tea leaf. It is very appealing on the palate early on. with refined tannins and a juicy feel. It’s very attractive now, and it’s not going to slow down any time soon. Drink 2024-2040.
Rated 97/100 Jeb Dunnuck
