2016 brings a new appellation bottling for Migration, expanding on the previous Russian River Valley bottlings to include select sites from the wider Sonoma Coast AVA. This is a gorgeous, honeyed expression that maintains vibrant acidity thanks to partial malolactic fermentation. Aromas and flavors of lemon crème, pear, apple and pie spice are subtly blended together, with a soft, integrated finish that has good push and lingers long. A well-crafted offering.
