Purple Hands 2009 PH Pinot Noir (Dundee Hills)
- $40
Light and murky, with a flavor mix of tomato, vegetable juice, celery, barely ripe berries and thin acids. That sounds worse than it is; taste this alongside a Bourgogne from a big shipper in a cool vintage and you wouldn’t see much difference. The alcohol here is listed at just 12.5%. It’s a serviceable everyday wine, but not priced accordingly.

Purple Hands 2009 Red (Oregon)
- Online Exclusive
- $19
This is essentially a southern Oregon blend of Cabernet, Merlot and Syrah, with the unusual addition of 15% Dundee Hills Pinot Noir. It is difficult not to think that the winery just had an extra few barrels of Pinot around and decided to blend it in; the wine is a diffuse mix of generic red fruits and sharp acids, that thins out quickly in the finish.
