You can review all those here in our ongoing Top Picks list. In reviewing all of our ratings this year, it would be a disservice not to list all the runner ups because we had so many wines rated 89 and 90 points that were so good, just not at the upper echelon of our reviews. Big and elegant go hand in hand here with this amazing bottle of Cabernet, coming in at $46, but similar to aforementioned Stag’s Leap wine, this one drinks like it cost a lot more 92 points from us. 2018 Austin Hope Cabernet SauvignonĪnd if we’re going to call out Washington State wines, we’d be remiss not to call out Paso Robles, and this bottle from Austin Hope is a great way to do it. Seek out these Washington wines while you still can. Really surprising what you get for the money with this one. It was $8.99 and from Red Mountain, one of Washington’s State’s premier regions. This bottle is the perfect example though. You don’t find that nowadays too many places in the wine world. ![]() Washington State wines are amazing, and still fairly priced. 2018 N46 North Forty Six Cabernet Sauvignon Red Mountain Such a great wine that we rated 91 points. It’s $24 and creeping up it seems, but anything comparable from Stag’s Leap is going to run you double, more like triple that price. 2018 Kirkland Signature Stags Leap District Cabernet SauvignonĪlways one of our favorite Kirkland wines of the year, and this current vintage is a perfect example of the quality you get in this wine at a great price. But it drinks way above this Costco price. It’s not inexpensive at $24, but that’s off a retail price of around $37. I was not familiar with the producer (I am now, and enjoy following them on Instagram), and bought this on a whim. Sometimes a wine just hits you right on every accord and that’s how I felt about this wine. 2017 Balletto Pinot Noir Russian River Valley The price was only $15 and it was delicious and memorable. It seems like we tasted and reviewed a lot of Russian River Chardonnay this year, and this bottle from Pellegrini stood out from the pack. 2016 Pellegrini Chardonnay Russian River Valley We really enjoyed this one, and rated it 91 points. But it drinks so good it’s a value at $20, and even $30. It’s normally $20 and we scored it for only $12 which is insane. We were lucky to catch this at a special discounted Costco price. 2017 Raymond Chardonnay Reserve Selection In each case the Kirkland price is a fraction what you would normally pay for wines from these premier regions.” We rated it a solid 92 points. “The price for this Barolo is $19.99, which falls right in the ballpark where we see many higher end Kirkland wines (Pauillac Bordeaux, Chateauneuf, Brunello, Champagne). Here’s what we said about the new Kirkland Barolo: 2015 Kirkland Signature BaroloĪn exciting new entrant in the Kirkland wine family. This is a great way to experience top notch Bordeaux wine at a reasonable price. This is the “second” wine from famed Bordeaux estate Chateau Malescot St. Here are the Costco wines we tasted in 2020 that we rated the highest (starting in January): 2015 Chateau Malescot-St-Exupery La Dame de Malescot Margaux Here’s last year’s list if you want to take a quick peek lots of new ones this year which is great for building a list of wines to search for. There are always hidden gems to be found. Dig around bins and look under the wooden boxes. So it’s very possible that many of these bottles are no longer on store shelves.īut keep an eye out because you never know. Like every item at Costco, wine moves fast it’s here one day, gone the next, never to be seen again (except for those rare surprise appearances).

Thankfully, wine has been a bright part of it for me as I imagine it was for many of you. ![]() I think we will all agree that 2020 is a year like no other. ![]()
