    Esteban Martin Garnacha Syrah - A $5 Costco Find

    By: Jon Thorsen Published: May 21, 2023 Last Updated: May 21, 2023

    A ripe and jammy red blend from Carinena, Spain at a great Costco price. We review the Esteban Martin Garnacha Syrah.

    Esteban Martin Garnacha Syrah - A $5 Costco Find

    A blend of 60% Garnacha and 40% Syrah from vines aged 20-65 years old in the gravelly soils of Carinena, Spain. The wine is vegan friendly.

    We found this one for just $4.99 at Costco, but it is also available elsewhere for around $10. It is imported by Tri-Vin Imports.

    From the bottle:

    This wine is an expression of great vineyards and represents the passion and hard work of the family and a profound respect for nature.

    Produced and Bottled by Bodegas Esteban Martin
    13.5% Alcohol

    The 2021 Esteban Martin Garnacha Syrah opens with very ripe, sweet and jammy aromas of fleshy red and black fruit with a touch of spice.

    The wine tastes smooth and not as sweet as I was expecting from the nose, but it's definitely not totally dry. It has a bit more structure than I was expecting too, especially at just $4.99.

    Juicy fruit and a little bit of spiciness lead into the dry, grippy finish.

    This is a nice little wine for just 5 bucks! It might make a nice pairing with a cheeseburger and it was even a bit better on day 2.
