Hamacher 2002 Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- $40
The best since the 1995, this is a big, round, supple wine loaded with black cherry and plum flavors accented by hints of mint and cola. Despite its size, it’s harmonious and balanced, featuring a long, richly textured finish.

Hamacher 2007 Cuvée Forêts Diverses Chardonnay (Willamette Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $35
This soft and seductive wine is reminiscent of a good Chassagne-Montrachet from a relatively warm year. It has the same ripe, lightly tropical fruit, inflected with citrus and buoyed by firm acidity. The use of oak is restrained, the balance perfect, and the finish long and satisfying.

Hamacher 1997 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley)
- $30
Beautiful fragrance of raspberries and strawberries, with a minty touch. Exquisite depth, and closes with a lovely balance of fruit and tannins. A gorgeous, appealing, yet powerhouse wine that almost tricks your palate with its elegance.

Hamacher 2002 Cuvée Forêts Diverses Chardonnay (Willamette Valley)
- $30
Hamacher is one of the founding members of the Oregon Chardonnay Alliance (ORCA), and this wine is a shining example of what heights Oregon Chardonnay can achieve. Smoky and nutty at first, it opens to reveal white peach and melon flavors that gradually supplant the oak notes. Richly textured and full-bodied, it also boasts serious length on the finish.

Hamacher 2000 Cuvee Forets Diverses Chardonnay (Oregon)
- Editors' Choice
- $25
A stellar effort from one of Oregon’s brightest young stars. It’s made in a soft, creamy style, with a palate-pleasing mix of semi-tropical citrus, anise and spice. Added richness from lees contact and nice toast from the barrel complete the package. A handmade, textured, tasty, full-flavored and unusually satisfying Chardonnay. Editors’ Choice.

Hamacher 1998 Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley)
Simultaneously fuller and crisper than the seamless ’99, this may be one to hold a little while yet. A bit subdued on the nose relative to other vintages, but packs in plenty of fresh fruit flavors.

Hamacher 2001 Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley)
- $30
A bit sterner than the 2002, this is a wine that needs 3-4 years to settle down and round off some rough edges. Cherry and beet aromas ease into plum and black cherry flavors. Medium-weight, with a long finish that bodes well for aging.
