Smoke-N-Spirits

Diamond Collection
Silver Label

Here is what one website says about this wine:

Tasting Notes — The Silver Label Pinot Noir has a bright ruby color and reveals an alluring perfume of red plums, flowers, and sweet spices. Profuse flavors of black cherry, dark currant, and strawberry fill out the plush palate while notes of sandalwood continue into the soft, elegant finish.

My response to that is: No one has a palate that refined. If you do, go start your own review site and quit drinking the cheap stuff. My thoughts on it are more elementary. For the money, this is a very nice Point. It’s color was nice and the aroma was pleasing too. I found it to be quite smooth and sweet, but not too sweet. It did however lack the bite and peppery taste we might expect from a California Point. Hardcore Point fans will not be disappointed, but they will not keep a bottle in their cellar either. All and all: A great $13.00 wine that I am looking forward to drinking again…soon.

Price Paid 13.00
