Purple Hands 2009 PH Pinot Noir (Dundee Hills)

Country: US / PH
Variety: Pinot Noir Oregon
Winery: Purple Hands / Dundee Hills

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.
