Last year at this time, Costco sold the 2011 Santa Julia Cabernet Sauvignon for $6.59. It earned praise as a great value at that price, even called "one of the best bargains" ever found at Costco.
Well, today at our local Costco(Greenville, SC), I found this same wine, even the same vintage(2011) for $3.97. Yes, $3.97! If you liked it last year for $6.59, you have to love it for under $4. I have been blogging about the great values from Argentina due to that country's economic problems and currency devaluation, but this is the best yet.
This is a wine with dark berry flavors, but softer, smooth tannins. It may be simple, but it is very good. It has an A.C. of 13.5% and the grapes are said to be grown in a sustainable manner. If it is available to you at this price, you should stock up.
SC Wine Joe rating = 88
