Kirkland Signature Red Blend 2016

Friuli-Venezia Giulia, ItalyThe blend is 67% merlot, 24% cabernet sauvignon, 4% petit verdot, 3% cabernet franc, and 2% malbec, and it's soft, round, and ripe. It says Napa Valley on the label, but there isn't much that would suggest it's more than anything but Central Valley juice. Pleasant, easy sipping, barely dry with chocolate cherries predominating. It’s $11.99 folks, which is its best selling point, but that price is more about the Napa moniker than the quality of the wine.Tasted: 14 January 2020Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
