A youthful ruby red hue, the 2022 Pinot Noir Haakon/Lenai Vineyard comes from 27-year-old vines in the main estate vineyard. A youthful bright magenta/ruby color, it offers darker berried fruit notes of wild black raspberries, layered spice, toasted cedar, umami, and licorice, with some red-fruited, high-toned lift shining through. There is real crystalline depth to this wine as well as more purity and clarity, and it has bright, ripe acidity, mouthwatering freshness, and a great finish. Its ripe tannins are very well-framed, and it has a long finish. Much more purity and clarity here. Drink 2024-2044. This is by far the best wine in the Purple Hands lineup.

Int'l Wine Review
Another stunning Pinot Noir from winemaker Cody Wright, the 2022 Haakon/Lenai Pinot Noir by Purple Hands spent 10 months in 30% new French oak and showcases a shimmering light to medium neon ruby core with a light silvery rim. This intricate and complex wine is savory with meaty characteristics alongside black cherry, black raspberry, dried cedary herbs, and toasted walnut shells. It’s in a beautiful spot now, but will only improve over the next few years. 792 cases were made. Highly recommended.

Wine Advocate
From 26-year-old, dry-farmed vines, the 2022 Pinot Noir Haakon Lenai has pure, complex aromas of rhubarb, blueberry, licorice, tea leaves, potpourri and mossy bark. The medium-bodied palate is powerfully styled with generous layers of red fruit, spice and earth. It’s structured by velvety tannins and vibrant acidity and has a very long, expressive finish.

Wine Spectator
Rich and full bodied, this red is jammed with compelling flavors of raspberry and jammy cherry. Takes on orange zest, clove and cinnamon accents before finishing with plump tannins. Drink now through 2032. (TF)
