December 27, 2015 - This wine was markedly affected by the heavy smoke from fires in the Anderson Valley during the 2008 growing season (see link below):

I thought this was a great deal on $10.00 half bottles of the Migration Pinot but the smoke is very prominent (think heavily peated Laphroig Islay Scotch) rendering the wine completely undrinkable. . That is not what most people are looking for in a Pinot Noir. Wine Library must have known what they were selling. Shame on them. Returning all 6 bottles for a refund.
Do not buy this if it shows up in an offer again. Plus, you have to pack up and ship back the bottles to them in order to get a refund, wasting the buyers time for returning a flawed wine that never should have been sold in the first place.1 person found this helpful 2,675 views
