This is always a tough bottle for me to review, and might be even trickier this year with this new 2020 vintage.
As I've mentioned in prior reviews, I think I did figure it out a bit. This wine is situational. If it's 100 degrees and you're on the beach or a boat, and you pull this one out fully chilled it might be amazing. On other occasions not quite as cool as that, it might fall flat.
One good thing with the 2020 vintage is that there was actually a price drop. That's right. The already super low price of $5.99 was just reduced to $4.99. That's a pretty good deal for any drinkable bottle of wine.
I looked over our past reviews and was surprised with how many vintages of this wine we've tasted.

And this new one falls right in the middle for me.
It pours almost clear with just a faint yellow tint; juicy citrus fruit on the nose, built for summertime. In the mouth, more juicy fruit, orange peel, tangerine and green apple flavors. Light body, good acidity; simple but not too shabby.
If you're like me, you might want to grab a few of these and hold for the summer months. Fans of Pinot Grigio and New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc might get into this one.
By the way, and this is a discussion for the comments, but rumors are that the Kirkland Ti Point Sauvignon Blanc has been discontinued. I know that was another summer time favorite for a lot of readers. Let us know if you've seen it lately.

For $2 more the Kirkland prosecco is quite a good deal.

Kirkland Ti Point has not been discontinued. There was a delay in shipping but my warehouse (in the NW) has had a steady supply for the last month.

Just heard that from another reader too. Thanks for the info.

@Editor,
Same is SC, we didn't see any Kirkland Ti Point for at least 6 months but the 2021 vintage showed up at our Costco about 2 weeks ago.
Great house wine!
Gary Lynn says
I might be mistaken, but it has been $4.99 all along?....I shop in Woodstock
Editor says
When we reviewed the 2019 vintage it was $5.99. http://costcowineblog.com//2019-kirkland-signature-pinot-grigio-friuli/

2021 release of Kirkland Signature Ti Point Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc just showed up at Coscto in Spanish Springs, NV (Reno area). I'm reasonably sure it was $6.99 but don't have the receipt anymore. Love this wine for everyday!
Larry says
I bought some 2021 Kirkland Ti Point in North Carolina 2 weeks ago as well.
Sam says
It’s a food wine! Chicken Piccata with artichokes! Molto bene! It’s not a sit and drinker.
Martrese says
This is my go-to white, but like Frank, I usually pay $2 more and lean towards Kirkland's prosecco (with the light purple foil). I buy that by the case!!!

Cumberland store had new KS Barolo 2017 today
