2008 d'Arenberg Stump Jump Shiraz McLaren Vale

This is one of the best values I've seen at Costco and elsewhere in some time.  The Stump Jump has been on my list of go-to bottles for years.  It is almost impossible to beat this for the price, and Costco's $8.49 price point is the best I've seen. 

The wine is very spicy and peppery, a lot going on to excite the taste buds, but it's the delivery that makes this a standout for under $10.  It's remarkably smooth and well assembled.  Nothing funky, nothing standing in the way of it's flavor coming through.  Just really fun to drink.  I think almost anyone would enjoy this wine.

This one will land on both the Silver Rated and Value Pick wine lists .  You don't see that happen very often.  Scoop these up while you can.
