The 2016 Sta Rita Migration Pinot Noir Drum Canyon Vineyard is on the sweeter side for a Pinot Noir, which makes it a perfect choice for someone who would like to start drinking more red wines. I am typically a drinker of white wine, and I was pleasantly surprised when I poured a glass of this varietal. It is smooth, just sweet enough, and not dry. It provides a taste of grapes and fruity notes, and is incredibly smooth. My husband and I enjoyed this for a date night in, and we had a great time assessing the flavor palate and comparing it to other wines we typically drink. Again, if you prefer sweeter wines, this is a great red that gives you the full body profile of a red, but a touch of sweetness.

Want to elevate an evening at home in a snap? Open a bottle of 2016 Migration Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir Drum Canyon Vineyard. It's vibrant, refreshing and incredibly smooth. Even those who lean toward white wine (like me) will enjoy sipping on the Pinot Noir before, during and after a meal. I recently invited my parents over for dinner and served the wine as an apéritif. As soon as my homemade soppressata and fennel grandma pie emerged from the oven, we were all ready for a second pour. Though you might not expect it, the bright, crisp wine complemented the Sicilian-style pizza perfectly. Needless to say, we gladly finished the bottle!
