Stephen Andrews reviewed this wine as follows:
Nice value priced Pinot Noir. Easy to drink. Full of lingering cherry on the finish. The description on the bottle tells the story of what is inside. As an amateur this is helpful.
I like Pinot Noir and I would defiantly buy this wine again. Great on its own.

Yum! Mocha, clove, raspberry, red cherry, coconut, vanilla, dill, cedar.
Elegant, and a slight bitter finish.

It's September 30th. I'm sitting outside. I'm not ready to give up summer. I've got a sweater on to keep the chill off. And I'm sipping this wine. I'm squeezing in my last BBQ of the season with BBQed salmon, zucchini from the garden and creamy, comforting risotto. It's too late for white wine, but it's too early for the full bodied reds.
For the record, I don't normally like pinot noir. But this wine is smooth, ripe fruits, light-to-medium bodied. Paired really well with my dessert of Lindt Blackcurrant Dark Chocolate.

Light-medium ruby colour. Barely noticeable aromas with this wine. Subtle but positive cherry, red berry notes with slight herbaceous/woodsy and vanilla notes present. Medium weight not very grippy. Soft and mellow flavours of cherries and berries. This is a decent wine.

Pleasant nose of roasted beet, tart cherry and smokey notes leads to earthy, red berry and charcoal on the palate. Would be great with summer bbq fare - grilled chicken or salmon.

87/100 with the following review:
Aromas are delicate and include strawberry, cherry, forest floor, warm earth. Lots of strawberry and cherry on the palate. Medium bodied, acidity is not quite as high as expected, but still somewhat balanced. Lots of fruit on the finish. Enjoy with pork.

83/100 with the following review:
This wine is low on the fruit flavours and high on the earthy, minerally, forest floor notes. Could be a good match for food like lamb or veal, which share similar flavour characteristics.

90/100 with the following review:
A nice [full-bodied] Pinot Noir from California cool climate country- Monterrey. Key aromas and flavours show pronounced aromas of ripe (cooked) raspberry, stewed plum, mild lavender, and spice. The palate is bold and flavourful for a pinot with moderate acidity, medium+ tannins, a satiny texture and a long tangy berry finish. Tasted Jan 17 - @sommsosa | besoketastings.ca

A great value-priced Monterey Pinot Noir that's easy going and flavourful, with good structure making it ideal to pair with lamb lollipops with cherry compote. Enjoy 2017-2019. Tasted January 2017. 90 points. Matt Steeves - www.mattswinepicks.com

Natalie's Review
Jekel Pinot Noir 2014, Monterey, California, United States: Lovely cherry berry ripeness on the nose yet perfectly balanced with racy acidity on the palate. Monterey makes spectacular Pinot Noir at great prices, like this one. Pair with pasta primavera. Finishes with exotic notes of wild violets and hickory smoke. The Pinot Noir grapes for this silky Californian red wine grow in vineyards that benefit from the tempering influence of the Pacific Ocean. The vines are planted in ancient alluvial soils that were deposited by rivers and floods. Drink: 2016-2020. 27268 13.60% XD 750 mL $20.95 Score: 90/100. January 26, 2017 Top Rated Red Wine.
