Massive qpr. This is a $25-30 wine for under $15. Great classic Grenache. — 4 days ago

I really liked this. Red fruit-forward wine and a higher alcohol content that I’m used to drinking typically, but it was very well balanced with a bit of acidity. — 6 days ago

Wow. What a mouthful. This is not for the faint of heart. Not too fruity and quite tart, this Zin packs a punch. Dark cherries with a hint of oak. It finishes strong with some grippy tannins. — 10 days ago

Consistently my favorite RM Pinot, this was the last of my 2016s…no restraint! No surprise, it showed the most layers but also the most in reserve for evolving down the road. For those who still have, I’d hold another 2-3yrs, or decant 2+hrs.

This was opened later in the evening alongside other wines, but at least was given a decant for about an hour before it was mostly consumed. Out of the 2016 single vineyard Pinots I’ve consumed, the easy answer is it’s mostly similar to the Summa, but just because that’s the easy answer doesn’t mean it’s the wrong one. The similarities with the black tea, pomegranate, mint, and muddled underripe raspberries are obvious but where it diverges from the Summa is with the blood orange…the citrus layers here are absolutely fantastic. A great combo of fruit and savory notes (doesn’t seem to have much whole cluster), with nervy acidity and a lengthy finish. This is just beginning to unfurl. — 9 days ago

Love this wine! If you are expecting a punch in the mouth fruit bomb…. Go elsewhere. This is all about finesse. Dusty red fruit, very expressive bouquet, medium tannins. — 2 months ago

The 2021 Rosé Ode to Lulu shows mineral-tinged aromas of red berries, nectarine and citrus zest complemented by herb notes. Silky and energetic on the palate, offering white peach, strawberry and tangerine flavors with delineation and tension. A floral note lingers on the finish. $24.00 (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, August 2022) — 8 days ago

Rkasitelli (white) grapes are fermented on their skins in clay amphora to develop this beautiful amber colored wine. Aromas of oranges and apricot. Apple, peach and caramel on the pallet. Rich texture. There are tannins in this wine but the finish is creamy and smooth. Interesting. — 5 days ago

Probably the best wine I’ve purchased from Costco. It’s not cheap compared to other Costco offerings- but it’s much less cost with similar quality than the $90+ or more bottles of 20 year tawny port I’ve enjoyed. It’s just so smooth and complex that I don’t feel I need to describe the flavors profile. It’s complete. — 9 days ago

Dark Ruby coloration. On the nose, currants, anise, minerality and earthiness. On the palate, cherry cola. Medium body. Light finish. — 6 days ago
