title: Purple Hands 2015 Le Nouveau Monde Pinot Noir (Oregon)
description: A barrel selection aged in three-quarters new oak, this is nonetheless surprisingly light, as the oak does not intrude. Elements of the entire red-fruit spectrum, from rhubarb to cranberry to raspberry to red plum all come up, though the wine retains a rather delicate aspect that rewards your attention. The tannins are drying and lightly chocolatey.
variety: Pinot Noir
designation: Le Nouveau Monde
