A stunning value for only $6.99, this is a ripe and juicy, Merlot dominated Bordeaux that's a must buy if you see it on your next trip to Costco.
The grapes are sourced from Chateau Le Gardera and are 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, aged in French oak for 12 months. The wine is fresh on the nose, showing a little hint of spice, medium in body with cherry and plum flavors. Tight tannins lead into a dry finish.
I would never guess this wine could be scored for $7. It's nice all the way through and probably one of the best value Kirkland wines in recent memory. A good addition to our Value Picks list.
