We have a nice string of new Pinot Noir reviews going in the past few weeks. Largely because we're finding new ones that look tasty, but also because we love drinking them this time of the year.
Here's another one from Oregon (just posted about this lovely Argyle Pinot), this time from the Yamhill-Carlton AVA.
Costco's price came in at $19.99 which looks pretty good considering we see it going for $25 online, and a retail price more than that. And it's a very nice wine, and a good buy especially at this price.
This wine pours a pale ruby in the glass with aromas of spice mixed with red and dark fruit; medium bodied with good acidity; flavors a little more on the dark fruit side, pomegranate, blackberry, black cherry and plum; some mocha and vanilla notes toward the finish which is dry and lasting.
Overall, a nice find in the Pinot aisle at Costco and a good choice under $20. Kind of cool too that there were only 300 cases produced.

300 cases produced pretty much guarantees that nobody reading this review is going to be able to find it at their local Costco--- reinforcing the biggest complaint that followers of this blog have----availability.

You must have an awesome wine steward at your Costco's. I probably only get 5%
or less of the wines you see, and I live in Washington State. However I clue my son in to your suggestions as he is in central Florida. Keep up the good work and remember my wine tasting suggestion. If it tastes good, drink it. If not, pour it in the sink.
