May 4, 2020 - Retail $9. 100% Sangiovese. Once again, Costco shows through its Kirkland brand that fantastic wine does not have to be expensive. I picked this up a solid three years ago and completely forgot about it. Perhaps that was a good thing? Quite a range of scores here on CT, from 75-90 points. I am not sure that the Kirkland label and it's low retail are doing it many favors here as wine snobs are going to think it is crap even before opening (since it is "made" by a retail behemoth) and "regular" folk are going to assume it is just an average wine (at best) since they can actually afford it. Well, it is pretty darned good, in my opinion. That classic Classico nose of dark cherry (just ever so slightly stewed), with a bit of black pepper, and even a touch of mint. The palate is still quite fruity with that cherry, a bit of cola, and heaping spoonfuls of tartness. There is also a bit of tannic grip on the finish, too, so this is still doing quite fine, grazie. thedrunkencyclist.com
