A nice buy for a basic Pinot at the Costco price, we review the Firesteed Pinot Noir from multiple vineyard sites in Oregon.
Pinot Noir from Oregon. The wine is aged in a combination of small French oak barrels and larger stainless-steel tanks, with approximately 15% new French oak.
Sample submitted for review. This wine has an SRP of $25 but we have spotted it at Costco for just $11.59. More commonly it can be found for around $15.
From the bottle:
Founded in 1992, this Firesteed blend of Pinot Noir showcases select vineyards spanning Oregon’s most desirable winegrowing regions. The winery icon is a horse, an archetype which has connoted grace, courage, fire and beauty since ancient times. More recently, it is a symbol of the frontier spirit which drew pioneers west to the edge of the continent to follow their dreams. Firesteed Pinot Noir is a refreshing version of this cool climate Burgundian-style wine, bright with exuberant cherry and berry fruit flavors and aromas.

The 2021 Firesteed Pinot Noir opens with a pleasing aroma of black cherry, baking spice, touches of cranberry and black tea.
The wine tastes smooth, simple and easy to drink and features similar flavors to the nose. It is light to medium-bodied in the mouth.
It ends dry with decent length on the finish. It’s a satisfying Pinot Noir find if you can get it at the low Costco price.
