The wines of Thomas Bachelder are inspired by his spiritual home – Burgundy – where the grapes he loves (pinot noir, chardonnay, gamay noir) originally evolved, where even the tiniest of vineyards are kept scrupulously apart in the winery, and then put separately, lovingly, obsessively into small, individual bottlings. His goal is to “keep out of the way” and let the best parcels and the most harmonious barrels come forward to liberate and define small patches of Niagara land. It takes a long time to discover terroirs, but the journey has its rewards.
750 mlPerfumed, sweet red raspberries, whereas Lowrey’s Old Eastern Block (below) has black raspberries. One senses that this Lowrey may be ready sooner than the Old Eastern Block, but make no mistake: there is a solid limestone chalk here. In fact, this Lowrey ‘Old Vines’ will age and morph on its chalkiness alone. Delicious! There is no greenness here, just solid, tight, black-peppery clay-chalky fruit. The tension from the higher acid and perfumed chalky message of the Lowry Vineyard is here. Bright raspberries flirt with cranberries and rhubarb. A slight kiss of integrated oak barrel. But really, this is all scintillating, textured, delicious red fruit.

Founded in 2005, Purple Hands works passionately to offer an experience of humble luxury—drawn from the details of a deep geologic story, expressed through authentically Oregon Pinot noir and Chardonnay. Native to Oregon vineyards and farmland, owners Cody (son of Oregon Pinot Noir pioneer Ken Wright) and Marque Wright are most intrigued by wines that reveal the history of their native landscape. The name Purple Hands is meant to depict this work: the work of harvest when your hands are purple and black and rugged from long days and nights of pushing yourself to create and sustain quality.

This is becoming a reference vineyard for Niagara, with steep stoney-silty clay and limestone soils. It's leans towards citrus and minerals with a long finish, capable of aging gracefully for another 10 years.
