Last Updated on October 23, 2024

Priced right at just 10 bucks, we review the Trader Joe’s Reserve Rosé of Pinot Noir Lot 259 from Los Carneros, Napa Valley.

Trader Joe's Reserve Rosé of Pinot Noir Review

Pinot Noir in rosé form from Los Carneros, Napa Valley, California.

The wine is available exclusively at Trader Joe’s and sells for just $9.99.

As usual, not much info is available on this wine beyond that’s it made by the private label producer Bozzano, who also make a number of the other Trader Joe’s wines. The fact that this is from the Napa side of Carneros, however, and is just $10 is intriguing so let’s check it out.

From the bottle:

Lot #259

Dry, with balanced acidity, offering both floral notes and fruitiness with hints of white peach and fresh citrus blossoms.

Produced and Bottled by Bozzano & Co.
12.6% Alcohol

The 2023 Trader Joe’s Reserve Rosé of Pinot Noir Los Carneros Lot 259 opens with an attractive aroma of cherry, cranberry, tomato plant, a little citrus and a touch of a floral note. It’s a nice start.

Tasting the wine reveals it to be a bit lighter than the nose would suggest but it’s still quite refreshing. It features similar flavors to the nose with tangy fruit in the mouth.

It ends dry and long on the mouth-watering finish. This is a solid Pinot Noir Rosé for the low price.
