2017 Occidental-Kistler Vineyards Bodega Headlands Vineyard 'Cuvee Elizabeth' Sonoma Coast

(93 Points)  --    (Wine Advocate)

Medium ruby, the 2017 Pinot Noir Bodega Headlands Cuvée Elizabeth has deep aromas of cranberry sauce, blood orange peel, charcuterie, saline, tar and licorice. In the mouth, it’s medium-bodied with a bit more fruity flesh than its 2016 counterpart while still maintaining its pleasant core of bitterness. It has a crunchy, fresh fruit character with bright bitter sparks, a grainy frame and great freshness, finishing long and mineral driven. (ER)   Review Date: 07/2020
