Here's a Cabernet that makes semi-frequent appearances in Costco, and it's one we haven't reviewed as much as we probably should.
It's been a long time, seven years in fact, when we last reviewed the 2015 vintage of the straight Napa Cabernet. This one we are tasting today is the Signature Series North Coast.
Outside of posting on this site we've enjoyed several bottles from Sean Minor over the years, and were happy to find this one at our local Costco on our most recent visit.
Costco's price was $14.99, and it looks like retail on this wine is in the mid $20's, so we like this Costco discounted price. 91 points from Wine Enthusiast too, which we felt is right on the mark.
This wine is a medium ruby with light purple accents in the glass; aromas of fresh red fruit, earth and pencil-shavings; the wine is medium plus in body with soft tannins.
Loads of juicy red and dark fruit flavor; black cherry, raspberry and blackberry; sweet oak and mocha notes into a solid finish.
A nice Cabernet buy at Costco especially in this price range. A big time crowd pleaser too as the wine is a bit infectious as you get into it.
