2016 DUCKHORN “MIGRATION” SONOMA COAST VALLEY PINOT NOIR Winery Notes: "This complex cool-climate Pinot Noir displays lovely texture and tension. On the nose, layers of blackberry, raspberry, moist earth and fresh-cut grass evolve and expand over time. The robust dark berry flavors continue on the palate, where they are underscored by a firm, sophisticated structure that adds nuance and grip." From PinotFile, "With this vintage, the winery switched their flagship Russian River Valley Pinot Noir to the Sonoma Coast AVA, sourcing more fruit from cooler vineyards. 25% of the grapes were sourced from Bloomfield Vineyard in the Petaluma Gap AVA. Russian River Valley sites are 40% of the blend. Aged 10 months in French oak barrels, 40% new, 60% neutral. · Moderately light garnet color in the glass. Pleasing aromas of cherry, raspberry and sandalwood lead to a mid weighted core of cherry, spice and cozy oak flavors. Silky textured with restrained tannins, and a finish infused with cherry goodness." 90 Points
