About Purple Hands Wines

Purple Hands is owned and operated by Oregon winemaker Cody Wright. Cody grew up in the Willamette Valley, Oregon's most recognized and abundant wine region. With constant immersion in wineries and vineyards and with close family ties to some of the greatest wineries in the Northwest, Cody pursued the intense but rewarding work at key wineries in Oregon, New Zealand and Australia.

The Purple Hands name and label were created to visually reference the dichotomy of the wine industry. Oregon winemakers often go from their wine soaked cellars or sedimentary/volcanic soil vineyards and rush home to change out of wine stained clothes into formal attire for a wine event. The original idea for the Purple Hands Blend wine label comes from a black and white picture of Ken Wright and Mike Etzel at a tuxedo dinner. The picture shows only their hands side by side, sleeves rolled up. You see the Purple etched harvest hands in contrast against the tuxedos, evoking the abstraction of the industry. The hands depiction of each harvest are a badge of honor among cellar crews, they illustrate the proof of their hard work and the passion of the vintage, a physical art piece morphing with each day.

Purple Hands primary focus is to bring beautiful wines to you every year. We have close connections to all of our vineyards, and meticulously compose the most honest expressions of terroir and clone.

Please enjoy.
