NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Purple Hands Latchkey Vineyard Chardonnay is a delightful expression of the classic California Chardonnay.On the nose, aromas of ripe stone fruit and floral notes fill the glass and lead to an underlying hint of baking spice. On the palate, this wine offers a creamy and layered texture, with flavors of apple, pear, and subtle oak. The acidity is well-balanced and adds a hint of zest to the wine's finish. Enjoy this delightful Chardonnay now or cellar it for a few years to enjoy its complexity and depth.

ORIGINS

Winery: Purple Hands

Region: Oregon

Oregon is a state in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, located between Washington to the north and California to the south. It is known for its diverse landscape of forests, mountains, rivers, and high desert, and for its vibrant wine industry. Oregon's wine industry dates back to the mid-1800s, when the first vineyards were planted in the Willamette Valley. The region was largely forgotten until the 1960s, when a group of pioneering winemakers began to experiment with Pinot Noir and other cool-climate varieties. Since then, Oregon has become one of the most important wine regions in the United States, with over 500 wineries and more than 1,000 vineyards.
