Duckhorn Vineyards Pinot Noir Napa Valley Migration 2006

Winemaker's Notes:

2006 Duckhorn Migration Pinot has bright fruit complemented by ripe and broad tannins that provide great balance and a lengthy finish. The aroma features blueberry, plum, strawberry pie, and toasted oak. The flavors are focused and follow through with ripe strawberry, plum, and cherry, complemented by clove. A lighter style than our Goldeneye, this wine shows the range and suppleness of the Pinot Noir varietal.This is a california wine

Sweet on the nose with a strong vein of cola and spice tinged cherry fruit that gains a rather prominent medicinal/cough syrup quality. Very treebarky and smoky forest floor emerge with air and there is a gentle nuttiness with green walnut tones. Round and soft, a touch chewy and dense with dark spice and cola tones, RC cola. Nice structure but a bit blocky with an overt wood tones and a hovering vanilla sweetness. Finishes a bit short with tannins that are still a touch austere. 85pts

The aroma features plum, white/milk chocolate, and lots of berry, most of all blueberries, with a litle earthy after taste. I would say that it is more the Burgundy style than the powerful and sweet Russian River Valley Pinots. I would give the wine at least an hour to open up. Great value for money.
