This wine is drinking incredibly well and I'm glad to see that there are a few more that remain in my cellar. This wine was part of an '02 - '04 Hamacher vertical that was consumed over the course of a week. The 2004 vintage was hands-down the favorite of the tasting. The body has solid weight and plenty of acidity without being over-extracted or super concentrated like the '03. The flavors of dark fruit and earth really jump out of the glass, from the aromas to the minute+ long finish.

Medium ruby in color with a very subtle nose. The fruit was reserved, thin red berry and was overwhelmed by the acid and alcohol -- not a good balance. The wine was a bit of a question for about an hour, then went downhill fast.

Wine House - Oregon: Huge caramel chocolate nose (blows off - enjoy it early); Great balance; Medium finish; Good depth

Extremely light Pinot. Very pale, short finish. Not memorable or tasty.
