A decent Napa Cab for the $12.99 price point at Costco. Since I've always gone kind of middle of the road on these Kirkland Napa Cabs, I had a few other people try it, and they all agreed it was a nice wine for the money, but nothing special.
I gave the 2009 vintage of this wine 86 points and will do the same this year. What you have is a nice Cab (although I'd guess there's a touch of something else in here, likely Merlot), that starts fresh and ripe on the nose, it's medium to full in body with tight tannins, a little cocoa on top of the dark fruit flavors, and some spice on the rather quick finish.
Not a bad wine by any stretch, and ok at this price point. See what you think and let me know on our Facebook page.
