Patrick Lambert Chinon Deuzelles
$30.99
Patrick Lambert's vines are situated in Cravant-les-Coteaux, 8 km from the town of Chinon where arguably the best wines of the Chinon appellation originate. He cultivates 6.5 hectares and today is classified entirely organic. His reds are classic Chinon.

Purple Hands Freedom Hill Pinot Noir
$106.99
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.
