Migration 2009 Charles Heintz Vineyard Chardonnay (Sonoma Coast)
-
$55
Spectactular Chardonnay, so pure, clean and delicious. Defines the cool coastal climate of the Sonoma Coast, with brilliant, citrusy acidity brightening long hangtime flavors of tropical fruits, green apples and succulent peaches and pears. A stunningly good, upscale Chard to drink with very rich fare, such as ricotta cheese-filled gnocchi with grilled rock shrimp…

Migration 2006 Pinot Noir (Anderson Valley)
-
$32
A lovely, polished wine, the second label of Goldeneye. It doesn’t have the impact of the main wines, but it does share in their structural brilliance. Dry and silky, it has alluring flavors of cherries, cola, mocha and spices.

Migration 2006 Vin Gris of Pinot Noir (Anderson Valley)
-
$20
I love everything about this blush. It’s the pretty color of a peach whose gold is turning rosy pink, and the rich flavors are of raspberries, strawberries, cherries and vanilla, all balanced with a crisp streak of acidity. Fun and serious at the same time, it will go with everything from salmon to vanilla ice cream.

This second label from Goldeneye is a soft, silky and complex Pinot Noir, dry and balanced, with blackberry, cherry, cola, nutmeg and cedar flavors. Very deft, and fine to drink now.

Migration 2005 Pinot Noir (Anderson Valley)

$32
This is the second wine of Duckhorn-owned Goldeneye, comprised of lots that don’t make the main blend. It shows the power and acidity of the main wine, with rich cherry, cassis, cola and vanilla flavors, but not quite the same finesse. Drink this polished, elegant Pinot now.
