Reviewed January 2026The 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. (AG)

Wine Advocate
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. 94+ (EB)
Notes
A particularly pretty expression of this site with aromas of red raspberry, crushed stone, and fresh rose petal. Just-ripe red fruit meets a delicate but bracing saline edge, with notes of hibiscus and strawberry adding lift. Seamless and elegant, with a mouthwatering and very long finish.
