The private label, as the Diamond Series are positioned as higher-end wines at Trader Joe's, and are broken into four tiers: Petite Reserve, Grand Reserve, Platinum Reserve, and, at the very top, Diamond Reserve label. These are typically made from the highest-quality grapes and great vintages. However, some flavors and complexity may vary as these are still sensibly-priced wines.

This Barolo from the Bersano Estate, 100% Nebbiolo grapes, a V.2020 is still evolving, the usual "tart & roses" profile remains as a backbone at the front of both nose and palate. The concentration of dark baked cherries, stewed strawberries and spices flavors are truly prominent while grippy tannins and texture take over by the mid-range of the palate. Bone dry and the degree of complexity is yet to be fully developed. Overall, the wine does the job at its price point, and may evolve a bit more. Cheers! — 2 months ago

Dark dried red fruit in the nose with fallen leaves, damp soil, tar, and a slight hint of mint. All aromas come through in the mouth with a firm structure. Tannins became heavier and heavier with air, and firm acidity made this match chicken enchiladas perfectly. Really rocking on day 2. Great value. — 5 years ago

Nice expression of Barolo - roses, tar, dark cherries, and quite spice forward with firm tannins and a fresh finish that brings balance. Phenomenal value on sale at local PA liquor stores. — 6 years ago

Surprenant au niveau du goût, de la robe claire et de l’équilibre qui en fait un vin qui se boit très bien avec goût singulier. Qualité-prix intéressant. — 4 years ago
