March 31, 2016 - Another shitty '07 OR Pinot!! This almost seems young on the nose and palate. Scents of earth, red fruits, and mushrooms. Flavors of cherry, rhubarb, and wild strawberries. Beautiful on the palate and nose...just lovely. I wish I had bought more. Outstanding!
December 31, 2015 - Doing great in the bottle. Handling the age fine.
December 12, 2015 - Similar notes as before. Still bright, good acidity.
August 7, 2015 - My last bottle of this case I bought at an auction. I would love to try some other years of this winery.
December 18, 2014 - Raspberry and forest floor on the nose. Lean with tart red fruits and a bit of sweetness in the mouth. This wine is ready to go.
May 24, 2013 - Color: Ruby with a thin salmon pink miniscus
Smell: Earth, cherries, tomatoe leaf, clove, and black trumpets
Taste: A melange of vibrant red fruits, blueberries, blackberries, and earth driven notes
Overall: Outstanding! This really is a lovely wine; it has only improved since the last time I had it. While I'm sure that this will last and age well...it would be hard not to drink more of them if I had more.
November 19, 2012 - More "stemmy" than the last bottle. However, I still enjoyed this.
October 26, 2012 - Color: Ruby
Smell: Cherries, roses, earth, and a hint of mahogony?
Taste: Raspberries, cherries, strawberries, and a melange of cinnamon, nutmeg, and dried red fruits.
Overall: Outstanding. Lean and reserved with an elegence that more Pinot Noirs would benefit. Med+ acid, med+ fruit, moderate tannin, with a complex and elegant finish.
October 20, 2012 - Another nice release of Hamacher. A blooming nose of bright cherry with a balance of light earth and slight mineral.
Good tannin structure and the fruit hangs off this structure very nicely. Nice mouth feel and the palate match up nicely with the nose.
September 15, 2012 - Beautiful. We love what Hamacher did with the so-called "sub-par" 2007 Willamette vintage.
