Purple Hands Dundee Hills Pinot Noir Haakon/Lenai 2023

$6299

Cody Wright grew up inside Oregon Pinot — son of Ken Wright, working harvests at his father's eponymous Carlton winery from his early teens — and launched Purple Hands in 2005 (later joined by his wife Marque). The Haakon/Lenai vineyard is the family's estate site in the Dundee Hills, originally planted in 1990 on classic red Jory volcanic soils, with southeast-facing slopes and a mix of Dijon and heritage clones (Pommard, Wadenswil, 777, 114, 115). Dry-farmed and organic, the 2023 leans into bright spice and wild herb — sage, tarragon, cardamom — wrapped around compact wild and dark berry fruit, with coiled tannins that promise long life.

"The 2023 Pinot Noir Haakon Lenai Vineyard is dusky in character, with nuances of spiced orange and an odd note of bouillon cubes. Cool-toned and round, it offers tart red berry fruits that slowly saturate. Slightly dank minerality lingers, joined by edgy tannins that pinch at the cheeks." —Eric Guido

"The 2023 Pinot Noir Haakon Lenai floods the senses with expressive raspberry, wild cherry, hibiscus, licorice, rose petals and slowly emerging earthy accents. The medium-bodied palate is bursting with perfumed, layered flavors. It’s framed by velvety tannins, and fireworks of fresh acidity drive a long, shimmery finish with latent spicy tones. It should be long lived in the cellar." —Erin Brooks

Wine Spectator

"Handsomely structured and silky in texture, with multilayered raspberry and guava flavors that are endowed with orange peel, cardamom and other dusky spices as this gathers length and breadth toward polished tannins."

Wine Enthusiast

94 points

"An aromatic burst of cherry liqueur is soon joined by notes of loamy soil and spicy ginger. The wine's luxurious texture and silky tannins pair nicely with concentrated blackberry, black tea, and bittersweet dark chocolate flavors. The acidity here is brisk, providing a nice balance with the wine's restrained alcohol, tannins and fruit. This pleasurable wine makes you want to settle into your chair for a relaxing conversation." —Michael Alberty

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Roast duck breast with cherry reduction, mushroom risotto, grilled salmon with herbs, or a simple roast chicken with thyme.

Tasting Profile

Medium-bodied, focused and aromatic. Wild and dark berries, fresh sage and tarragon, a hint of cardamom and a sunny fruit finish. Coiled, fine-grained tannins, balanced acidity, real ageing potential.
