Creamy, ripe orchard fruit flavor - yellow apple and buttered pear. Easy to drink - I can certainly understand the upfront appeal.

Since crafting its premiere vintage of Anderson Valley Pinot Noir in 2001, Duckhorn Wine Company's Migration has earned acclaim for a refined style of winemaking. Sourced from 14 vineyards throughout the RRV, aromas of stone fruit with floral and mineral notes. On the palate crisp apple and zesty lemon citrus with a touch of sweet spice with a gentle creaminess. Good balance on lingering finish ending with mineral tones.

Tart apple, pithy lemon, hay, honey, slate, oak, vanilla and hints of lime. Great acidity and balance.

Balanced fruit and acidity. Lovely, long bitter (in the good sense) finish. --Wineshout

Popcorn Chardonnay, creamy butter and vanilla all the way! Can't wait to see what Bo does with his first vintage as head winemaker.
