Hamacher 2002 Pinot Noir
- 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 2000 Cuvee Forets Diverses Chardonnay
- 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 2002 Cuvee Forets Diverses Chardonnay
- $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 2007 Cuvee Forets Diverses Chardonnay
- 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
- $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 1998 Pinot Noir
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 1999 Pinot Noir
Elegantly combines notes of black cherries, peppery herbs and smoke on the nose, then smoothly glides into a supple, medium-weight palate. Still shows a bit of tannin on the finish. Drink or hold.
