William Wright Reserve Pinot Noir – The Right Stuff

By: Jon Thorsen Last Updated: May 5, 2019

Looking for a classic, earthy Pinot at a budget-friendly price? The William Wright Reserve Pinot Noir from Aldi is for you.

William Wright Reserve Pinot Noir - The Right Stuff

Pinot Noir from Monterey County, California.

The William Wright Pinot Noir is available exclusively at Aldi and sells for just $9.99.

From the bottle:

Our Reserve Lot Pinot Noir is an elegant wine that shows beautiful aromas and flavors of red cherry and blackberry with subtle vanilla notes. On the palate, smooth tannins and a silky texture lead into a supple, lingering finish. Pairs well with appetizers, salads, poultry, fish & soft cheeses. Best served at room temperature.

13.5% Alcohol

The 2016 William Wright Reserve Pinot Noir begins with a pleasing and very earthy aroma of strawberry, tomato plant, rhubarb, leather and mint. You can tell right away that this is going to be a good one for people who enjoy a lot of earthiness in their wine.

Taking a sip reveals a medium-bodied, smooth and tasty wine full of cola, juicy strawberry and mint. It’s a pretty classic earthy Pinot Noir with absolutely nothing not to like at this low price (if you enjoy the earthiness).

It ends with a dry, medium-long finish of lingering cola and licorice plus (you guessed it) more earthiness.
