Loved this. Elegant, sweet with enough acidity to balance it out. At five years of age, maybe hitting its peak? — 7 years ago

Tasted at NZ cellar Pinot tasting. Light, savoury with nice acidity. Ted Lemon from Littorai is the consultant winemaker. — 8 years ago
Bought at winery. Pure honeysuckle, rose petal, mellon, and pear with nice mid weight palate. A treat. — 8 years ago
Tasting this wine v Littorai Cerise and a 2005 Gevrey Lavaux St Jacques. Nose is great; taste is bright cherries; a happy wine. Will be great with the duck with cherries for dinner. B — 9 years ago

Thought this was WVPN. Always love Littorai. — 7 years ago
@Delectable Wine this is the new Anderson Valley offering. Apparently Littorai fruit here. Classy effort at an exceptional price for AV juice under screw cap. Buy it by the case. — 8 years ago
2006. Great match for bananas foster. — 9 years ago
Very gorgeous - you know it's a top Sonoma Coast Pinot as soon as you smell it.
In the wonderful 10 Cases it drank beautifully with plates of lamb lion and suckling pig.
Superb wine.....but not quite up to Littorai standards. — 9 years ago
I love this wine. Simply put. — 4 years ago
Bottle 2 of 2 elegant coastal PNs provided by our gracious hosts on Diamond Mountain. Mini 2007 horizontal. This bottle a bit riper and bigger - fruit moving more towards the darker cherry and pomegranate juice realm. Adding suggestions of cola and soy sauce as well. Still fantastic balance but the extra point or so of alcohol makes this not quite as elegant as the Littorai. — 5 years ago
The Migration label first appeared in 2001 as the second label of Goldeneye, both under the Duckhorn masthead, first focusing on Pinot Noir and later adding Chardonnay. Like Paraduxx to Duckhorn, it is no longer a second label, but a winery unto itself. In 2008 Migration, and by extension, Duckhorn, produced its first Chardonnay. In 2009 they produced their first Chardonnay from the legendary Charles Heintz Vineyard. The Charles Heintz Vineyard is located just outside of the town of Occidental where Charlie’s family has farmed the land for over 100 years. Two ridges in, and only about 8 miles from the Pacific Ocean, the vineyard is situated in the Green Valley of Russian River Valley AVA. Heintz has become one of the most famous Chardonnay sites in California, with notable producers including Ceritas, DuMol, Freeman, Flowers, L'Angevin, Kosta Browne, Littorai, Migration/Duckhorn, Moone-Tsai, Pierson Meyer, and Williams Selyem. With its classic Goldridge sandy loam soils, and located just above the fog line, the vineyard receives abundant sunshine and cool ocean breezes. Super mellow Chardonnay, with candied orchard fruit, honeysuckle, wet stone, and some secondary hazelnut, with just a flutter of mushroom in the background. — 7 years ago
Showing some age visually in clarity and color (more brick coming through) but still bringing acidity to the mix keeping a vibrant tone. Smoke and some secondary aromas playing out nicely — 8 years ago
Young, up front and juicy, nice oak, nice savoury feel... Solid new world chard — 9 years ago
Musky and mushrooms. Very tannic but has opened up nicely after about an hour. Tasting with the W Selyem 12 Vista Verde (bright) and the Littorai 12 Cerise (balanced). More depth but surprisingly short lived. Want and expect more. — 9 years ago
Excellent Russian River terroir, but restrained. Somewhere between Littorai and Hartford! — 10 years ago

This was quite delicious in its supple California-meets-Loire-meets-Burgundy kind of way - 2014 — 4 years ago
