There are some interesting Kirkland bottles floating around Costco stores nationwide right now. This is definitely one that caught our attention. It’s a straight Napa Valley Cabernet, not the blend that we’ve reviewed for several vintages (or the older Napa County, not Valley), and not the appellation designated Cabs (Stags, Rutherford, Oakville). This is a …
I first heard about this discounted Napa Cabernet from a reader last week, and hoped to find it near me, which I finally did. So I wanted to get this review out so others can be on the lookout. Discount ends on April 4. It’s hard to beat these prices, when Costco brings a wine …
Finding good quality Napa Cabernet under $20 is always a challenge. It’s out there, but there are a lot of mediocre offerings spread among the good ones, so it’s a constant hunt. Costco’s Kirkland Cabs are usually a good, safe entry point. Oberon is one of those names you should put on your radar too. …
Here’s the latest vintage of a Kirkland wine I know many of you, like me, have been waiting for – the Kirkland Oakville Cabernet. This is usually one of our favorites among the Napa appellations that Kirkland wine spans. Some of the other premier Napa regions we see offerings from include Rutherford and Stag’s Leap, …
The Bordeaux Superieur has never been one of our favorite Kirkland bottles. In the past we’ve found it drinkable and semi-fair for its super low $7.99 price tag, but not really a wine that we would label “enjoyable” or one that we would stock up on. With the new 2018 vintage, the price stays the …
Here’s a new arrival that caught our eye. This is an organically grown (and single vineyard I believe) Cabernet Sauvignon from the Valencia region on Spain’s east coast. It’s an area that doesn’t get quite as much attention as some of Spain’s other famed wine regions, but it produces several white and red grape varietals …
We have had a nice a string of reviews of tasty Kirkland wines, and here’s another one to add the list to look for on your next Costco trip. Kirkland (value) plus Columbia Valley (quality) generally flashes a buy signal. This wine debuted last year in the 2017 vintage and it was a winner, as …
It’s nice to see this one back on Costco shelves. It was hinted at being out there in a recent Wall Street Journal article about Costco Wine (here it is, subscription required). So that sent me into my Costco on the lookout. Kirkland’s Rutherford offerings used to be just a Meritage blend, which we enjoyed …
I had to snap this one up at what ends up being a ridiculously low price for some Columbia Valley juice. Costco’s normal price is $11.99, but through 11/22 you can get $4.50 off which brings it down to $7.49. I found the same bottle for $10.97 at my Total Wine and online it’s hovering …
In the world of good value priced wine, Chile is a great place to look right now, especially for Cabernet. This wine was only $12.89 and it drinks like it cost way more. It’s a single vineyard wine too so offers a nice expression of the land. The wine achieved a 91 point rating from …
I think if you had to identify regions in the U.S. that were delivering high quality wines at great prices, Washington State and Paso Robles would have to be towards the top of the list, at least in my opinion, and in correlation with my tastes. I wrote a feature on why you should be …
There’s no reason to beat around the bush here. This wine is an absolute steal at Costco for only $8.99. Hailing from Washington State’s premier Red Mountain region, finding a bottle like this under $10 is almost unheard of. Most of the wines are $30-$40 and up. At the same time, they are just now …
Year in and year out, the Kirkland Stags Leap Cabernet is a reader favorite, and one of mine as well. The first thing to note as the new vintage hits stores is the price which has stayed the same from the 2017 vintage. It was starting to creep up a couple bucks every year, so …
We realized a nice upside surprise on this bottle. While I think Australian wines overall seem to be trending in the right direction in terms of price and quality, I’m still never quite certain what I’m going to get when I pour that first glass. I’ll admit the 93 points from Wine Enthusiast listed on …
I just found this one last night at an Atlanta area Costco, and given the big limited time discount, I wanted to get it up on the site right away. Online this bottle seems to go for around $22-$23, so in line with Costco’s standard price, but when you add the hefty $9.50 discount, it …
