Occidental 2022 Pinot Noir Cuvee Elizabeth
2022 Occidental Pinot Noir Bodega Headlands Vineyard Cuvée Elizabeth
Wine Advocate 95+ Points
The 2022 Pinot Noir Bodega Headlands Vineyard Cuvée Elizabeth is deep and heady on the nose. Youthful pomegranate and rhubarb give way to cinnamon, red licorice, hibiscus and rooibos tea, plus the complex woodsy and spicy undertones characteristic of the Occidental wines. The palate offers concentration without weight, flooding the mouth with waves of crunchy, saline-laced red fruit. It’s structured by lacy tannins and vibrant acidity and has a long finish with a flourish of spicy accents. It will benefit from several years in the cellar. Drink Date: 2027 - 2042.
