Using traditional winemaking techniques, they strive to produce wines that convey an honest expression of each of their vineyards—its grapevines and cultivation, soil and stone, sunshine and rain. All of their wines undergo native fermentation and remain unfined and unfiltered at bottling to preserve their natural, wild character. Achieving elegance in this pursuit is the passion and art of their craft. Over the past 40 years, Cody’s family has created a legacy of quality in the Oregon wine industry. Their winemaking styles and techniques helped Oregon’s Willamette Valley become the premium Pinot noir producing region in the world. At Purple Hands, Cody continues to build on the standard of excellence initiated by the previous generation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWinemaker Notes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2021 Purple Hands West Wind Vineyard Pinot Noir offers notes of savory spice, red and black licorice, cotton candy, candied walnut, blackberry, blueberry, blue spruce, sage, and saffron.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProfessional Ratings\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e97Jeb Dunnuck\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2021 Pinot Noir West Wind Vineyard takes on a darker profile, with musky cologne of sandalwood, brambly wild blackberries, and cracked pepper.

Medium ruby, it has alluringly broody scents of cranberry, rhubarb, tar and burnt orange, opening to nuances of licorice, tea leaves and forest floor as it airs in the glass. The medium-bodied palate is powerful yet supple with loads of finely grained tannins, mouthwatering acidity and concentrated, dark red fruit that opens to a flourish of spicy accents on the long finish.\u003cbr\u003e\n93James Suckling\u003cbr\u003e\nA bright, medium-bodied pinot with aromas of dried roses, oyster shells, kelp, mulberries and cranberries.
