Served with prime rib for Christmas dinner. The wine is a bit restrained but not bad. Easy drinking with mild tannins and earthy, leathery tones.

Hoping for French barnyard. More of a tart, fruitless jumble

What you'd expect from a $9 bottle. Plum and Oak flavor with a bit of citrus. Very forgettable. Was better after decanting for a couple hours. Probably won't buy again.

Recognizably Bordeaux. Very high percentage of cabernet (75% cab 25% merlot) a testimony to the great vintage conditions? This is very enjoyable now but can keep for a few years too. Just a touch of oak in the finish. Looks like the producer (Ch. Petit Freylon, near Cadillac southeast of Graves) produces a few cuvees under its own label. Certainly of the several "generic" Kirkland regional bottlings (e.g. Rhone, Rioja, etc.) this is my favorite.

If we were rating this with mid priced Brodeaux it would be a 83. At $8 for a everyday wine or to serve an in law it's easy a 89

Inexpensive Bordeaux, but as previously noted by others, is nothing great or spectacular. Did not get any better over time. I would not buy it again, even at the low price point.

Nothing special about this wine. It’s super straight-forward, low complexity, not a whole lot to it. Don’t get your hopes up that this will be a grand Bordeaux with deep complexity and old world flavor. It’s not a bad wine, but more of a Tuesday night, need something cheap to drink kinda wine.

Decent wine (and crap wine, too) has become so pricey I decided to try this last night. Enjoyed the heck out of it! At $8 it's just right for weeknights and other informal drinking situations. Plenty of fruit, fairly well balanced, and displayed actual charm. 2016 turned out to be an excellent vintage; perhaps this is a one-off winner. Not sure how to score this on a 100 point scale, but it gets high marks for charm and value. A …

Solid everyday Bordeaux. Buy it. Worth it. Again, solid everyday wine, but please do not compare to a $60+ Bordeaux.

Kirkland - you get what you pay for. The wine was clear, ruby and deep intensity. No gas or sediment. On the nose, fruits were muted, but I picked up some black cherries, blackberries, smoke and some vanilla. Intensity was low. On the palate, the wine was dry, highly acidic with medium to medium+ tannins. I picked up cherries, blackberries and spices. Body was medium+. The wine was out of balance with acidity and tannins dominating the taste. The fruit …

Costco wines are usually in the ballpark of drinkable, this one unfortunately is not. Not even worth $7.99. Dark, sour, tart cherry, cedar with an incredibly bitter finish. Don’t waste your time with this one. BAD
