Occidental-Kistler Vineyards Bodega Headlands Vineyard 'Cuvee Elizabeth' Sonoma Coast, USA 2021 Château d'Yquem The 2021 Spring Mountain Merlot

The 2021 Spring Mountain Merlot is much darker than previous years

Positively crisp finish with some spice and bark complexity

Delicate tangerine zest

Not the heftiest or most concentrated Chablis but this is made up for the delicacy and lifted notes on the palate

Occidental-Kistler Vineyards Bodega Headlands Vineyard 'Cuvee Elizabeth' Sonoma Coast, USA 2021 Château d'Yquem The 2021 Spring Mountain MerlotMedium ruby purple in color, the 2021 Pinot Noir Bodega Headlands Vineyard Cuve Elizabeth hits the ground running with the most amazing perfume of violets, cardamom, anise, and lavender, leading to a core of Morello cherries, juicy raspberries, and kirsch. The elegant, medium bodied palate delivers vibrant fruit with wonderful tension and the most silky tannins, finishing with electric sparks. 97 Pts Lisa Perrotti Brown, Wine Independent Dry farming
