Oregon, Willamette Valley.
Very dense color, turning to purple. Somewhat floral nose with cherries. Decanted about 20 minutes before starting to drink. Round, good fruit, good varietal characteristics. Bottle went like a flash, but there really wasn't any conversation between us about it, and afterwards I asked Anne what she thought. Her response was "Eh." Pretty much sums up my thoughts: Good, but pretty nondescript. Nothing exciting. 13% alc. Received as gift, but runs about $40, I think. Not a $40 wine, IMHO. FWIW, WE gave it a 90, so maybe it's us who are wrong about it.

At his price points that only brings it down to the rediculous.

Hamacher is usually a pretty solid wine. I still have a 96 in the cellar. I do hate the inflated prices in OR these days -- hardly anything under $30-35 worth drinking (with a few exceptions).

Yeah, it was a solid wine. If I had paid the $40 for it, I'd have likely been a bit disappointed. But, there wasn't anything bad about it. Well made, etc. Just nothing to write home about.
I'll get back with you on the tongue transplant idea -- I'm waiting to see how tonight goes first . . .
