About the Wine

The 2015 Nouveau Monde Prestige Pinot Noir displays aromas of red cinnamon, lavender, honey, ripe orange peel, orange creamsicle, water-melon, cola, and white chocolate raspberry.

2015, a vintage full of beautiful weather and wonderful warm nights, brought a second consecutive spectacular growing season to Oregon. 2015 was one of the largest fruit yielding vintages on record, tied with 2009. The perfect weather during bloom and flower set the vines to dense berry and cluster size. Density of the clusters averaged 200 grams at harvest. As the rain came in late October, harvest was well over and wineries were concluding fermentation. The key to Purple Hands Winery’s outstanding flavors and balanced wines was timing the harvest before temperatures soared and all acid was lost.
