Trader Joe's
Platinum Reserve Russian River Valley Pinot Noir
Russian River Valley, Sonoma County, California, USA
Yet another example of ignore the label; just enjoy the juice. Cherry, rose petal and earl grey tea flavors. Velvety mouthfeel. Long finish. Elegant. Easily drinks at 4-5x the price. Go and grab this and thank me later.

1 person found it helpfulNov 1st, 2020This wind pours a light, clear ruby red. It has flavors of cherry, cherry pie. It has a mild finish and all the delicate yet complex structure of a good Pinot. I agree with several other reviewer‘s you could easily pay a few times the price for a similar wine. Definitely go out and stock up on this. It was a killer deal for only $12 at Trader Joe’s I think. It went perfect with the chicken kebabs we paired it with.

It’s got the richness and slight tartness and no residual tannin. There’s nothing out of place for a Pinot Noir.

Smooth, rich, a little smoky and super tasty. An excellent PN - I only wish I could get more at TJs (Platinums always sell out quickly).

Very good example of a Russian River Valley Pinot Noir. Has a mild to medium smoky and woodsy nose. Has a mild ‘bacon fat’ quality that gives a silky, almost oily mouthfeel. A lighter PN actually tastes like PN. One of the more terroir accurate Trader Joe’s wines. Very good.

Feels on the spicy side for a Pinot (but what do I know?)
