Château des Tours

Brouilly Gamay 2021

I have never been disappointed by a Cru Beaujolais, though I admit the first day this #brouilly was closed and a touch unbalanced on the tart side. Wine fridge +1 day and it’s expressed itself pleasantly. Cooked raspberry, lighter cherry nose, lovely acid-forward balance with more pronounced fruit on the second day, understated mineral notes. Good decision to buy 3 bottles at less than $20 each @ #costcowines — 23 days ago

Origine 8 Terroirs Brut Champagne Blend

Good entry level #champagne , fresher, bright and crisp style though for ~$30 price point not any better than Kirkland Signature’s real champagne at $20. #costcowines — 8 months ago

Kirkland Signature

Gran Reserva Ribera Del Duero Tempranillo 2018

I’m always interested to discover new #costcowines. For the price a really nice wine especially if you enjoy the bigger Napa style yet with some Old World sensibilities. Black and purple berry jammy nose, touch of vanilla and spices from new oak. On the palate the 15% ABV does show through - this is a hot wine without a lot of acidity to offset the fruit and booze; no tannins really on the finish. — a year ago

Masottina

Collezione 96 Brut Prosecco

Delicious #prosecco that’s a solid cut above typical mass market and grocery store brands. Distinctive tart cherry nose that carries through the taste. #costcowines — 3 months ago

Kirkland Signature

Gran Selezione Chianti Classico Sangiovese 2020

Give this one some time to open up. Wild cherry + dried cherries, touch of dried herbs on the nose. Medium plus body, juicy acidity and grippy tannins cruising out on a long finish. Lovely #chianticlassico #granselezione for under $20. #costcowines — 7 months ago

Madame de Beaucaillou

Haut-Medoc Red Bordeaux Blend 2019

You’ll definitely want to decant this wine. Well over an hour after opening in the glass the initial dusty #bordeaux muted fruit wakes up fully, very youthful bramble fruit, purple jam on the nose. Mouthwatering acidity and generally soft tannins from the Merlot dominant blend with some more assertive tannins on the finish. 68% #merlot, 17% #cabernetsauvignon, 13% #petitverdot, 2% #cabernetfranc - clearly I got the impression this wine could easily cruise for another 5 years in the bottle. Excellent #costcowines value. — 8 months ago

It was definitely a year or two ago. Not recently.

I found out later had some at my local liquor store so I got one!

Domaine de l'Abbaye

Gloria Vieilles Vignes Chinon Cabernet Franc 2019

Nice value #chinon - more modern, not as rustic and funky, muted dark fruit, less bell pepper notes (which I happen to love from #cabernetfranc) so a wider appeal style here with balance and weight on the tongue. #costcowines — 5 months ago

C.V.N.E. (Compañía Vinícola del Norte de España)

Bela Ribera del Duero Tempranillo 2021

A bit shy black and purple fruit aromas on this #riberadelduero. Medium plus body on palate; prominent acidity up front on palate, chewier tannins on the finish but with that tartness just so food friendly for ~$13, excellent QPR. #costcowines — 7 months ago

Kirkland Signature

Vacqueyras Grenache Blend 2022

Gratifying #vacqueyras - This is not your syrupy big extract Southern Rhône wine. Medium plus body, Mediterranean herbs and red/black fruit, tea and succulent acidity on the palate. Excellent value #costcowines

Château Petit Boyer

Premières Côtes de Blaye Red Bordeaux Blend 2021

~$10 #costcowines #bordeaux Blend. This is one of those that is very pedestrian after opening. Give it a day or more in the wine fridge and it transforms into a strong QPR BDX - purple, black fruit comes alive backed by leather, earthy notes on nose. Tannins ease up on the palate and with that lovely balance becomes so quaffable. — a year ago
