Try to avoid the 2019 Kirkland Signature ‘California’ Cabernet Sauvignon which although inexpensive wouldn’t even make a good sangria. This wine has plenty of complexity and ripe red and dark fruits with great acidity. With respect to their red wines, the $6.99 Cotes du Rhone Villages would be killer to enjoy by the glass but you get insane value by purchasing the entire bottle. The 2020 ‘Ti Point’ Sauvignon Blanc is one of the better values you will find in New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, and similarly the 2019 ‘Sonoma County’ Chardonnay is value that is very hard to find at this price point. My feeling is that the white wines by Costco offer slightly more consistent value. With regards to the red wines, a few were definitely substandard even at a low price point. I was surprised that I recommended all of the white wines, and after examining my notes I found that the wines tasted very similarly to how they did last year for me. The care and level of commitment that you find for this $19.99 bottle of Champagne is just second to none. The new NV blend might be the best one I have tasted since I have been doing this report. Similarly, you could easily argue that there is not a better value in Champagne than the NV Kirkland Signature. You are essentially getting two bottles of Prosecco for the price of one. It is very hards to find a Prosecco in this price range, as in most grocery stores La Marca Prosecco costs $13.99 at the store and delivers the same level of quality. One thing that struck me is how good the NV Prosecco has been for the price. Our individual reviews were shared after all of the wines had been reviewed and similar to last year’s report, many of the wines showed similarly to our respective palates. We procured these bottles over several Seattle area Costco locations. This year the reviews were solely done by Owen Bargreen and Tan Vinh, writer for the Seattle Times. Given that Costco is based in our home state of Washington, it seemed appropriate to publish a wine report covering all currently available Kirkland Signature wines. We have been purchasing Kirkland Signature wines for more than ten years, and in general we have found these wines to show solid value and in some cases, good aging potential.
Their wines, like all Kirkland Signature products, deliver serious value and have transformed the American wine market. Over the past ten years Costco has created their own label of wine under their ‘Kirkland Signature’ mark. While they might not have the range of wines that other retailers can boast, you know that you won’t experience a large mark-up with wines from Costco. While Costco has a well-crafted, albeit a bit small collection of wines of the world, most of the wines at Costco are sourced from wineries, rather than from a private label. Costco sells more wine than anyone in America. (Cachapoal, Chile) Prisoner Wine Co.Despite the pandemic raging on we return with the fourth edition of our Costco ‘Kirkland Signature’ Wine Report.
