Migration, Anderson Valley (Mendocino County, California) 2004

($30): This is sourced from the Anderson Valley outpost of Duckhorn Vineyards, the famed Napa Valley winery, which looked to the north for a site for their Pinot Noir production.  They make two bottlings, Goldeneye, and this less pricey one.   Made in a ripe, rich style with noticeable sweet oakiness, this won’t be mistaken for red Burgundy.  But then again, Anderson Valley is not in Burgundy and the wines shouldn’t taste like Burgundy. It’s a stylish California Pinot Noir. 88 Michael Apstein Feb 13, 2007
