Here's a Pinot Noir that's been lingering around stores in the Atlanta area that we've never tasted or reviewed.
It's actually a blend of grapes from three different California counties, netting out to be 45% Sonoma County, 29% Santa Barbara County and 26% Monterey County.
We like Pinot from all those areas so thought it'd be fun to see how a blend like this would come together.
Costco's price is just ok at $18.99. Retail is $25 and Wine.com sells it for $19.99, so not a huge Costco discount on this one.
It's a really delicious wine though, and certainly worth the $19 in our opinion. The wine pours a pale to medium ruby with red fruit and herbs on the nose; feels great in the mouth with flavors of raspberries, red licorice, a little cranberry; touch of pepper in the finish.
Just a solid bottle that would likely satisfy a wide range of Pinot fans. Happy we tried it. You can check out more of our Costco Pinot Noir reviews here.

I couldn't drink any of this until I was sure I was pronouncing it right. Those umlauts are tough.

I think you guys got ripped off. I just got one in Arlington, VA for $15.99...

I normally do not love Pinots in a low price range for fear of “ dirty feet” taste and smell.
However this one has Joe Wagner’s name on the bottle. Meiomi and Belle Glos are in his history. I’m not a Meiomi fan but Belle Glos is solid. I will have to give this one a try.
