95+ points Erin Brooks (Wine Advocate): "[$70 list] The pale ruby colored 2016 Pinot Noir Jack Hill Vineyard is scented of pomegranate liqueur, Bing cherry and cranberry with exotic spices, lilac, bergamot, wet leaves and earth. Light to medium-bodied, the silky texture segues into firm, grainy tannins, and juicy acidity provides support for the concentrated flavor layers and the long, layered finish. Outstanding. 200 cases produced. Drink: 2019-2030. (Apr 2019)"
95 points Matthew Luczy (Decanter): "As with the 2015 Jack Hill, the 2016 vintage has a lot of twists and turns in its trajectory. It is ripe and punchy on the nose, showing aromas of cherry compote and roasted pine needles. The texture is sappy, plush and saline. A hint of fresh roses combines with earthy, charred asphalt notes on the finish. Another Cobb wine that will reward extended cellaring. Drinking Window: 2020-2036. (8/3/20)
94 points Wine Enthusiast: "[$70 list] From a cold, steep site, Jack Hill is fleshy, spicy and integrated, brimming promisingly with a wealth of dark cherry, strawberry and blood orange. A tease of cola and cardamom give it a powerful middle of nuanced richness around a body of firm integrated tannin. Alcohol 13.6%. (Jun 2019)"
93 points Audrey Frick (JebDunnuck.com): "The 2016 Pinot Noir Jack Hill comes from a site in the Sonoma Coast and was aged 22 months in 30% new French oak. It has classy notes of black cherries, raspberries, smoked applewood, spice, and some sappy forest floor and rose petal notes as well as medium body, bright acidity, and a straight, focused texture. It's nicely made, opens up with time in the glass, and will benefit from a year or three of bottle age. Drink: 2021-2028. (6/14/19)"
93 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "Ross Cobb's 2016 Jack Hill Vineyard is gorgeous. Soft, pliant and inviting, the 2016 has so much to offer. Bright floral notes meld into a core of sweet red berry fruit in this nuanced, silky Pinot Noir, with floral, blood orange, chalk and mint notes that add invigorating freshness. The 50% whole clusters are impeccably balanced. Drink: 2021-2031. (May 2019)"
