2013 Purple Hands Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

12.5% alc., $22. · Moderate reddish purple color in the glass. Hard to find any fruit on the nose which offers aromas of cigar box, stem and oak. More satisfying on the palate, with mid weight flavors of dark red and purple fruits in a simple style that has a soft mouthfeel, a riff of oak, and demure fruit on the finish. Score: 86.
