While grocery shopping at Aldi can often be overwhelming, finding the right wine can make the trip worthwhile. The article reviews Aldi's California Heritage wines, specifically criticizing the pinot noir for its lack of the nuanced flavors expected from this grape. Instead, it suggests the merlot as the best red option and highlights the rosé as the standout choice, praised for its enticing aroma and freshness. Overall, although the pinot noir falls short, several other bottles offer good value and quality.
The reviewer found a jammy, stewed fruit flavor in the Aldi pinot noir that fails to deliver the elegance typically expected from this varietal.
While the California Heritage pinot noir disappoints, the merlot shines, being dubbed the best red wine in Aldi's lineup, offering worthwhile flavors.
The California Heritage rosé outshines the others, with a blend that reveals appealing aromas of framboise, wildflowers, and red cherry, delivering a refreshing palate.
Pinot noir is challenging to grow and requires perfect conditions, which is critical as the Aldi version lacks the aromatic and balanced freshness usual for this wine.
