The 2006 Pinot Noir H Wines is a value-priced wine offering surprising character. The fruit was sourced from seven vineyards averaging 25+ years of age. Medium ruby-colored, it offers a nose of spice box, raspberry, and cherry. This leads to an elegantly-styled wine with a forward, easy-going personality. Drink it over the next four years. Eric Hamacher runs the Carlton Winemakers Studio in addition to producing superb wines under his own label. His fans will be happy to know that he recently purchased 40 acres in the Chehalem Mountains AVA.www.hamacherwines.com
