I'm a sucker for oaky, fruity red wines, and this Malbec was just the ticket.
But I'm not alone. Most of us at the tasting actually picked out the Kirkland Malbec as the top wine. For just $6.99, you're getting a complex, satisfying, and juicy, wine.
My colleagues called this wine "complex," "clean," "not overly sweet," "velvety" "with a good finish. One wrote: "I could drink this early and often. I'm enthusiastic!"
Another wrote that this wine is "worth more" than its current price point.
The Kirkland Malbec was the last wine that we tasted, so I'm hoping that's not the reason for all the excitement. But I'd say that I was quite struck by this selection. And overall, I was quite impressed with the Kirkland wines that we tried.
Not all of them were home runs, but — from the consumer's perspective — they all offered something, whether that was a ton of wine for under eight bucks or an affordable bottle of quality wine.
