After opening a bottle, and allowing it to air, I spotted my review from October 2023 while sipping and reading other reviews. Holding this one for another year and a half shows that it does indeed improve with age. Not as good on day two tho. If you open it, drink it! — 2 months ago

Agree with several here that this wine is worth grabbing at Costco when you can get it. Recommended to us by a nice lady who was buying a couple of cases to cellar. What it lacks in personality it makes up in value ($8). Serve this at a wedding without hesitation. Unobjectionable, black pepper dominant with pleasant enough finish. — 4 months ago

Decided to try this one because I’m a Russian River Valley fan and Costco was offering at a bargain price. I favor a big Pinot and this one does not disappoint. Paired well with pasta and marinara sauce. Black raspberry and licorice. Excellent value. Intend to get more. — 2 months ago

Decant or give it at least 15 minutes in the glass. Spicy plum and nail varnish nose. Plum, dark cherry, vanilla, and cigar box in a medium body, resolving to medium tannins in a long, earthy finish. Delightful Costco find. — 5 months ago

Give it air. It’s fine but I’ll bet it would better in couple of years. Good value. — 3 months ago

Under $20 at Costco. Dark fruits, medium bodied, a little sugar, light tannins, easy oak and spice finish. Pairs well with salmon. Crowd pleaser. 👍 — 6 months ago
