You wouldn’t think of solid wine coming from a department
store. However, Costco wine is known for their quality. Bottles often range from
$10 to over $100 depending on their quality, brand and strength. Kirkland’s Cabernet
Sauvignon is a Californian wine that is great for the table. The label
indicates, “Kirkland Signature California
Cabernet Sauvignon is a classic Cabernet Sauvignon with vibrant, juicy flavors
of black currant with broad, red fruit notes that linger on the palate and are
surrounded by hints of spice and sweet smoke with graceful finish of cherry and
mochas.”
Kirkland Cabernet Sauvignon is actually bottled and cellared
at DC Flynt. They import wine from a number of countries and provide education
on wine selections. Apparently, Kirkland has a contract to purchase the wine
under its label. DC Flynt is known for its strong selections and large
quantities of sales. They are located in sunny Modesto California.
Cabernet Sauvignon is an international wine that can be
produced in a variety of environments. Grapes are generally hardy and resistant
to rot and frost which make them perfect for easy growing and development. The
grape had considerable mystery surrounding it. Dr. Carole Meredith completed
DNA testing and found that the grape was passed in the 17th century
as a hybrid to Cabernet franc and Sauvignon.
The label is accurate in terms of its fruity content and
zippy taste. The wine is a good choice for everyday dinner. It would also
be a strong choice for groupings or social gatherings under a budget. This wine
has a refreshing taste even if the label turns you off. Originally, knowledge
of this wine came through a Christmas social gathering and would continue to be
a bought product at $13 for 1.5L. Yet with its deep flavor it is worth trying
out at least once.
