Migration, formerly the second label of Decoy, the Anderson Valley outpost of Duckhorn specializing in Pinot Noir from there, has moved on (migrated, so to speak) south to Sonoma County. It is now a full-fledged member of the Duckhorn family, with its own winemaker, and focused on Pinot Noir from Sonoma. This one, a blend from several vineyards, emphasizes the fruity, rather than savory, aspect of the grape. That said, some herbal qualities emerge with time. Suave and supple, it’s ideal for current consumption.
