    Kirkland Signature Pinot Grigio - Cheap and Good

    By: Jon Thorsen Published: September 14, 2022 Last Updated: September 14, 2022

    The Kirkland Signature Pinot Grigio from Costco, only $4.99 and packed with flavor.

    Kirkland Signature Pinot Grigio - Cheap and Good

    Pinot Grigio from Friuli Grave, Italy.

    This Kirkland Signature wine is available exclusively at Costco. The 2021 vintage is still just $4.99. It is imported by Misa Imports Inc.

    From the bottle:

    The cool-climate wine region Friuli is bordered by the Alps in Northeast Italy. Kirkland Signature 2021 Pinot Grigio displays a fragrant bouquet of crisp apple with a hint of white flowers. Bright acidity is followed by a clean, refreshing finish.

    12.5% Alcohol

    While Pinot Grigio seems like it is a dime a dozen these days, good, flavorful Pinot Grigio is a whole 'nother story, especially when you're looking at a $5-$6 price point. Thankfully, Costco nails this one.

    The 2021 Kirkland Signature Pinot Grigio begins with a pleasant aroma of honeydew melon, green apple, pear, lemon and a touch of a floral note.

    Tasting the wine shows lots of rich fruit - lemon, green apple and pear. Some tropical fruit notes also come out on the mid-palate and lead into the tart, crisp and refreshing finish that leaves some lightly sweet fruit notes lingering on the lips.

    Add in some great, bright acidity and this is a great go-to Pinot Grigio on the cheap! How can you not like this for just $4.99?

    And here's our review of the very similar 2020 vintage:

    The 2020 Kirkland Signature Pinot Grigio begins with a pleasant aroma of honeydew melon, green apple, pear, lemon and a touch of a floral note.

    Tasting the wine shows lots of rich fruit - lemon, green apple and pear. Some tropical fruit notes also come out on the mid-palate and lead into the tart, crisp and refreshing finish that leaves some lightly sweet fruit notes lingering on the lips.

    Add in some great, bright acidity and there's absolutely nothing not to like at this price making this a great go-to Pinot Grigio on the cheap!
