Kirkland Signature, Cotes du Rhone Villages

In the glass its a mild to pale ruby. fresh and young with no visible faults. Medium body, overall a fairly lightweight and approachable wine for my tastes. very good and easy to drink. On the nose as i crack the cap it starts off muted and dull with the hints of dark berries present and a bit of dust. opens up over a few mins and starts to gain fruit. Ripe blackberry with hints of blueberry. berry notes are …

V: medium ruby with slight garnet tint N: blackberry, plum, spice, clove, herbs maybe tarragon, soil and wet oak P: blueberry, spice and vanilla on the palette with strong acidity and moderate tannin. Juicy and intense. Lots of dark fruit balanced with some herbs and a slight menthol finish. 90/100 very fun wine. Great PQR. In contrast to my rating from 2 yrs ago. This seems way more balanced. Still get some pencil shavings but much softer tannins.

Great QPR. Basically a pop 'n pour at this point. Simple, basic GSM blend. Pizza-pizza!

Nice simple CDR. A drink for any day of the week

The 2022 vintage is consistently good.

Thanks Costco. Best value for money GSM wine I have ever had. Hardly say which would be better? this one, CDF or Gigondas. Dark garnet, rose and red fruit on nose opened after ome hour decanting high acidity medium high tannin and bold medium fruity Good pairing with most of common Korean food. Next time hope to try with fried chicken

Standard easy drinking CDR. Can’t go wrong on the QPR. I just keep some around.

2022 vintage

Vibrant fruit, great structure and tannins

2022 vintage

Nose: Aromas of red berries, jam, and fresh fruit lead, with a noticeable alcoholic warmth. Dried cranberry and raisin add depth, along with a subtle hint of licorice-like note. Palate: medium-plus tannins that coat the mouth, with flavors of strawberry jam, presents a medium acidity, and a caramel-like note. The wine presents a notable alcoholic presence. Good enough for the price point.

Neither as good nor as bad as some of the comments here suggest. Simple, approachable Rhone with plenty of wild bramble, herbs, and fruit. Some raspberry, some savory notes. Not particularly complex but a good value even relative to (generally affordable) Cotes du Rhone.

The wine looks ruby colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like cinnamon. It tastes like strawberry. The body is medium. The wine has silky texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has low acidity. This is a wonderful blend and a great value

Beautifully balanced!

nose: faint pleasant fruit; palette: medium fruit and oak with a lightly acidic finish

2022 vintage

Earthy with hints of black cherry and chocolate.

2022 vintage

v: medium ruby, transparent N: pencil shavings, potting soil, vanilla, leather, dried blackberry, jam, red licorice, cardamom P: suprinsingly bright and red. Raspberry, Graphite, vanilla and soil. Something savory Bright juicy acidity and strong tannins. Very exciting nose which seems a bit dissociated to the palette. Not finding this duality unpleasant.

Color is ruby red. Initial nose is fruit forward, with red fruit/raspberry, as it opens up maybe more black fruit/black currents, some faint earth. Nose is youthful and very alcoholic, generally pretty lackluster. On the palate, a burst of one dimensional red fruit, raspberry, herb note on the finish. A bit tannic, lacking balance and complexity. Not sure I’d purchase again, but a mediocre weekday wine that did the job.

2022 vintage

I can sum this vintage up in one word - Meh! Not much on the nose - but eventually it develops a rubbing alcohol note. Overall, dry, acidic, and one dimensional. Weak palate of black and blue fruits. Light tannins. Short finish of berry skins with a lingering alcohol warmth. Most of this bottle is about to get used for cooking, and it will do a fine job for that.

This is a cheap wine that does not taste like a Côtes du Rhône. It is jammy, lacks any perfumed aromas, and has none of the earthy characteristics of this varietal. You can purchase a very good CDR for twice the $7.50 price of this wine and you would be well advised to do so. I feel as if Cellar Tracker reviews consistently underrate inexpensive value wines but the average rating for this wine makes me question the authenticity of …

2022 vintage

This is a wonderful wine for the price. It seems very characteristic of the appellation. Distinct garrigue, even. Very fresh. Grapey on the first day but more earthy and complex on day two.

2022 vintage

Meh. good for $7 but I don’t typically drink $7 wine.

2022 vintage

Costco regularly surprises me with the quality of the wines it bottles under its Kirkland label and this wine is no exception because this is a surprisingly good $7 bottle of wine! This could easily be an everyday house red with its exceptional qpr.

2022 vintage

I bought 9, should have ought more!

2022 vintage

This is an extremely good value. Weekend wine at a Thursday wine price.

2022 vintage

Medium purple in color; raspberries, blackberries, and lavender on the nose; high acidity; medium plus tannins; tastes like tart cherries, strawberry jam, and crushed gravel with a long finish. Nellie doesn't Iike it. I love it.

2022 vintage

Are you sure?
