94/100 – Wine Enthusiast (9/1/2020) “This is an outstanding appellation wine, made in larger quantities at a remarkably fair price. Grapes come from throughout the diverse valley and the wine barrel fermented and given nine months to rest. Full bodied, layered and widely appealing, it shows a density of peach, pear, baking spice and sweet oak, all of the components coming together seamlessly at the end.” (California)

93/100 – Wine Spectator (2/2020) “Stylish, generous and intense, featuring lemon curd, apricot and lime sherbet flavors that are vivid and mouthwatering, accented by details of matcha green tea, white pepper and passion fruit. Delivers terrific follow-through on the finish. Drink now.” (New Zealand)

93/100 – James Suckling (5/23/2018) “A soft and pretty red now with chocolate, berry and currant character. Full body, round tannins and a delicious finish. Layered and rich style. Delicious. Drink now.” (California)

90/100 – Vin Chicago (8/2020)

92/100 – James Suckling (11/7/2019) “A fresh, fruity red that is reserved and linear on the palate with medium body, firm, fine and silky tannins and a flavorful finish. Drink now.” (Italy)

92/100 – Jeb Dunnuck (6/5/2018) “The 2016 Pinot Noir Jackson Estate Anderson Valley comes from three vineyards (Boont Ridge, Falk, and Philo) in the Anderson Valley and spent 12 months in 30% new French oak. It offers beautiful red currants, dried earth, dried spices, and loamy earth as well as medium-bodied richness and depth. With bright acidity, a clean, balanced profile, no hard edges, and outstanding length, it should drink nicely for 4-6 years.” (California)

92/100 – Jeb Dunnuck (8/28/2018) “A rocking Cotes du Rhone, the 2016 Cotes du Rhone Esprit Francais gives up loads of blackberry and blueberry fruits, tons of peppery herbs, full body, a rounded, sexy texture, and no hard edges. It shows the purity and freshness of the vintage as well as loads of depth and length.” (France)
