ANTONIO GALLONI 97 POINTS - "The 2023 Pinot Noir Bodega Headlands Vineyard Cuvée Elizabeth is a wine of pure and total seduction. Tiny yields and a cool, drawn-out growing season produced a rich, textured Pinot that embodies the personality of the West Sonoma Coast—namely, its ability to produce Pinots with rich fruit at relatively low sugar levels. Hints of lavender, blue-toned fruit and exotic spice build into a layered, racy Pinot."
WINE SPECTATOR 96 POINTS - "This shows power in the form of mulberry, blackberry and boysenberry reduction notes that are vibrant and defined thanks to the lip-smacking acidity embedded throughout. An additional bramble element provides a live-wire feel through the long, licorice-accented finish, which immediately brings you back for the next sip. Drink now through 2038."
ROBERT PARKER'S WINE ADVOCATE 94+ POINTS - "The 2023 Pinot Noir Bodega Headlands Vineyard Cuvée Elizabeth is layered and spicy on the nose: sweet red cherry and pomegranate mingle with wafts of rooibos tea, red licorice, woodsmoke, saline and bitters. The light-bodied palate reveals complex layers of crunchy, earth-laced fruit and the mossy character reminiscent of a coastal forest. It’s framed by firm, lacy tannins and bright acidity, and its structural tension, combined with how dramatically it unfurls with air, suggests it will be long lived in the cellar."
