Hot alcoholic nose without any clear expression. Astringent and one-dimensional on the palate without any nuance. Literally nothing going on here. Wow, worst wine I’ve had in recent memory (Domaine Carneros Pinot Noir is still worse). Kirkland does everything but wine well.

This is our "everyday" wine. Not the best wine you'll ever have, but for the $ you can't beat it. Nice fruit, good acidity, well balanced, and very drinkable. We frequently buy all that our local Costco has on hand (2-5 cases). Seriously excellent QPR. As you know, a $100 bottle had better be good, but finding a good $15 everyday bottle is the real magic. Definitely worth a try, and if it matches your palate, you'll want to buy all of it.

I've tasted many different Kirkland wines. Some have their moments and some don't. I'd typically like to see a little more cab in a blend of this type, but for the money this is the best bargain I've found in a while. Grab it if you can! It has delicious flavor and medium finish. Yum!

Still good 5 years after first tasting. Solid fruit forward red wine as one would expect for a Meritage.

Drank with Michael as a Costco experiment.
