We've seen a few of these Reputation wines in Costco recently and have really enjoyed them finding a nice quality to price ratio.
Both the Stags Leap and Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignons were rather delicious and priced right alongside their Kirkland counterparts, which is not common.
So while this Sauvignon Blanc from them didn't carry the same limited time discount as we saw on the red wines from Reputation, it's possible the discount was already baked into this price.
We see a retail price for this bottle of $45 with Costco offering it for $14.99. We'll take that all day long. Plus a nice 90 point rating from Wine Enthusiast. Let's get into it.
This wine is a medium yellow in the glass; a little musty on the nose at first with flavors of citrus fruit; medium plus in body with more heft than other sauvignon blancs; nice textured flavors of lemon, lime, peach and grapefruit; a good dose of tanginess and mineral notes; touch of oak in the finish.
A very good wine at a super fair price. This is one of those young white wines that benefits from some air so consider decanting before enjoying.
Definitely different and reflecting that Rutherford terroir that produces so many beautiful wines. We're going 89 points.
