2009 Kistler Cuvée Elizabeth Bodega Headlands Vineyard Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir
14.1% alc., 780
cases, $90.
·
Dark reddish-purple color in the glass. The nose evolves slowly but beautifully in the glass,
offering an array of scents including dark berry preserves, black plums, oak spice and a floral highlight. Richly
flavored with slightly sweet and sappy dark fruits enhanced with subtle notes of vanilla, tar and fennel. Very
silky in the mouth with admirable length on the luscious, fruit-driven finish. The next day when tasted from a
previously opened and re-corked bottle, the nose had a green note yet the plush fruit flavor was hard to ignore.
This wine will find fans among those who relish big-boy Pinots. Good (+).

2005 Kistler Bodega Headlands Vineyard Cuvée Elizabeth Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir
14.1% alc., 274
cases, $120.
·
The nose is brooding with little fruit, offering mainly aromas of oak char and smoke. A prodigious
and muscled super-sized Pinot Noir that is Syrah-like. There is very little charm to be found here in the dense
dark fruit and substantial tannins. A husky wine that needs a good fatty steak. Decent.

2004 Kistler Bodega Headlands Vineyard Cuvée Elizabeth Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir
14.1% alc., 1,024
cases, $90.
·
Aromas of dark berry jam, oak spice and baked bread. Big and tannic with a profuse array of
blackberry, plum sauce and black currant flavors. The fruit flavors are buried in the massive structure. This will
always be a tannic wine. Rather uninteresting. Decent.
