Private-label wines are getting better. With the ongoing crisis, many winemakers are directing some of their strongest lots into distributor channels to stay afloat. For consumers, that’s good news — Kirkland is a clear example

Always love your Kirkland reviews!

I have all three bottles and have tried the Gigondas. Your description is spot on.

Pauillac is my go to wine on any day for its elegant taste, never fails to impress with its taste that lingers, well balanced, good finish. Am just surprised you concurred there assigning 92 pts. Borollo, the specialty Italian wine as I’ve come to know, it was a bit unfathomable on the first try initially, felt a heavy, rich taste with the bottle in room temperature, then kept in fridge/cooler, tried the next day, absolutely ravishing taste, the finish is delicate and superb, so I suspect sticking it a bottle in your cellar helps it getting better and better and tastes wonderful when chilled a bit. Still discovering many wine brands, it’s amazing to find such quality wines, Kirkland does it good 👍 thanks Dr for an interesting review

Kirkland’s old world wines are great value for money. I have these three and six others. They are great everyday drinkers while my better bottles age.

Kirkland Signature Pauillac (2023)
The overall winner. Features classic Bordeaux notes of purple/black cherry, tobacco, and cassis. Horkey was impressed by its structure and nuance, noting it outperforms many California Cabernets at this price. $19.99. 92 pts.

Kirkland Signature Gigondas (2023)
A "crowd-pleaser" with stewed cherry, floral, and peppery notes. While it lacks the richness of a top-tier Gigondas (drinking more like a high-quality Côtes du Rhône Villages), it is a fantastic value for house parties and burgers. $14.99. 89 pts.

Kirkland Signature Barolo (2021)
A decent red wine with cranberry and earthy tones, but Horkey found it less concentrated and "chiseled" than expected for a Barolo. He describes it as more similar to a Langhe Nebbiolo. $24.99. 87 pts.

I love your Kirkland wine videos. Thanks.

@rickancil5222 7 months ago

The Pauillac is definitely a winner. I'm headed to Costco tomorrow to pick up some more if they're still available.

@VeganSwimmer 6 months ago (edited)

I actually liked the Barolo. I bought it because of a positive review that I heard. This is the first Barolo that I've ever tried, so that may make a difference. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It sold out before I could buy more. I hope it comes back before 2026 is over! So I ended up buying the more expensive Barolo and I'll compare (if I can remember the Kirkland one 😬). I'm excited to find out about the two others. Some Kirklands I have liked and some not-so-much. But I am thrilled to learn about new wines that I've never tried!! You do an excellent job. I am going to listen to a lot more of your reviews!

Luv the video. Could not agree more with you on the Pauillac. I purchase 1 to 2 bottles every time I spy it in Costco.

@travisjames1263 7 months ago

I just tried this yesterday (Pauillac) and it was very good. Everyone loved it at dinner with Korean BBQ.

@arthurjackson277 7 months ago

I found the Pauillac at Costco a few months back. Matthew is spot on. I was shocked at the bang for the $19.99 buck. Nice nose, some layers and beats the competition at this price point. Too bad I didn't buy a case. Its gone now!

@flyguy2021 7 months ago

The KS CdRV at $7.99 is a big winner.

@nicabbq 7 months ago

Good review. Try the Cote du Rhone Village for an outrageous value. The Brunello and Chianti Classico Gran Seccione are worth getting, not as big as usual but great QPR and decent representaion of the wine.

@strouja 7 months ago

Thanks Matthew, by chance last night we had the 2023 Kirkland Pauillac and loved it. I decanted it for a few hours and ran the whole bottle through an Ullo Wine Purifier (to remove sulfates). The Pauillac was smoother than I thought it would be and had no harshness to it. We had it with Kirkland Rack of Lamb that I made..

Your Coravin cartridge refill bill must be enormous.

@petemccutchen3266 7 months ago

Glad to see you using the Coravin. It has totally changed the way my wife and I drink wine.

Also, I discovered I’ve been pronouncing “Gigondas” wrong all these years.

@davidbidwell250 7 months ago

Thanks for the review. My wife and I actually really loved the Barolo (for the price)) and went back to get more. Unfortunately it sold out; low volume like you mentioned. We also have the Chianti Classico Gran Seccione and are Sangiovese fans so we are looking forward to that one. We'll have to give the Pauillac a try too!
