Hamacher, Willamette Valley, Pinot Noir, 2005
Smells of vanilla and oak and cayenne pepper. Smells like velvet and roses and blueberry. Smells and tastes like your grandmothers dress in the closet with some old rose perfume. Hint of Crisp apple. Antique armoire in a dusty attic.
Very smooth. Definitely tastes of raspberry at the beginning. Then later, the taste was a strong red cherry. Hints of anise.
Finish is so calm (cold lake thing). Though, not the velvet hammer. Soothing. Just a bit on the acidic side. Cayenne and anise on the finish too.
