Occidental Pinot Noir Cuvee Elizabeth Bodega Headlands 2021
Occidental Pinot Noir Cuvee Elizabeth Bodega Headlands 2021
Luminous, aromatic, and beautifully lifted. A high-toned bouquet of red berry fruits is accented by floral notes of fresh rose petals. There is a crystalline, salty edge bracing the raspberry and bright tart cherry fruit. For all its concentration and intensity, the finish is graceful and very fine.

The 2021 Pinot Noir Bodega Headlands Cuvée Elizabeth, from vines planted in 2000, is particularly alluring for its aromatic complexity. Generous cranberry sauce and pomegranate aromas are complemented by detailed accents of charcuterie, blood orange peel, mushrooms, aniseed and an array of spices reminiscent of Angostura bitters. The medium-bodied palate is like a finely balanced scale, its expansive, detailed flavors supported by silky tannins and a spine of focused acidity, and it has a long, spicy finish. After the bottle is opened, it unfurls dramatically over several days, and its dynamic character and chiseled structure point to a long life in bottle.

The 2021 Pinot Noir Bodega Headlands Vineyard Cuvée Elizabeth is bright, aromatic and effusive right out of the gate. Rose petal, lavender, red/purplish fruit and spice are beautifully articulated. Medium bodied and gracious, the 2021 is all precision—all class. Bright saline notes resonate on the vibrant, persistent finish. I especially admire its understated personality. This site, planted in 2001 with suitcase clones on 101-14 rootstock and picked early for vibrancy, yields a tense, aromatic, red-toned Pinot endowed with tons of class.
96 Wine Spectator
Waves of succulent black cherry and mulberry fruit drape over a subtly piercing mineral aspect, while a backdrop of red and black tea, dried anise and blood orange zest adds alluring range. Racy, finely beaded acidity provides a nearly invisible corset of structure, letting it all play out with confidence through the lengthy finish.
