Costco, Kirkland Signature Cabernet Sauvignon, Columbia Valley, Washington, USA 2020

Deep purple in the glass and dark fruit on the nose introduce this Washington State Cabernet. Black fruit plus sweet spice entangle on the palate to present a well-balanced wine with deep fruit concentration and integrated tannins. Perfect with thick-cut pork chops drizzled with blackberry sauce. Columbia Valley, Washington’s largest winemaking region, delivers solid quality-to-price here. It would be challenging to find a better sub-$10 wine.
