The 2006 Pinot Noir Willamette Valley was also sourced from multiple vineyards. Medium ruby-colored, it exhibits a perfume of spice box, cedar, and red fruits. This is followed by a plump, smooth-textured wine with plenty of succulent cherry and raspberry fruit, excellent balance, and a lengthy finish. Drink it from 2010 to 2016. 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
