We've been tasting and reviewing the Kirkland Malbec going back to the 2009 vintage and unlike a lot of the other Costco wines, the quality on this one seems to bounce around a good bit. I think it's possible the producer has changed over the years as Costco previously didn't reveal who made it on the label like they do now. The last several vintages; however, the producer has been Broquel Winery.
Previous vintages, while always solid, have been a bit up and down. We loved the 2019 and it turns out 2020 is much more of the same, which is a very good thing.
The 2020 Kirkland Signature Malbec begins with pleasing aromas of plum and blackberry plus a little vanilla and spice.
Tasting reveals similar flavors to the nose in this medium-bodied, smooth and easy drinking Malbec. With lots of ripe and juicy fruit this is seriously crowd-pleasing stuff.
It ends with a dry, juicy finish of lingering tart fruit and a little spice. Really quite delicious, this is a fantastic wine at this extremely low price. This vintage is definitely once again Bulk Buy material!
