2019 Canvasback Red Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon

What a surprise seeing this bottle show up at Costco.

This is from Duckhorn’s WA state property at Red Mountain, and long time readers will know we love these wines. Bang for the buck they are blazing a new path forward for great juice in the US right now.

We’re getting a pretty buy on this bottle at Costco too. Total Wine carries it for $40, Wine.com $42, retail around $45. Costco is $34.99.

Big time ratings across the board. 92 points from Wine Spectator and Jeb Dunnuck. And now CostcoWineBlog too. What a find that drinks like it cost 2X the $35 price tag.

The wine is blended with a few other varietals, coming in at 84{83994d7454f8ce68441ea8152244c292227c3db19076e7622c8f5ff92141c35a} Cabernet Sauvignon, 7{83994d7454f8ce68441ea8152244c292227c3db19076e7622c8f5ff92141c35a} Merlot, 7{83994d7454f8ce68441ea8152244c292227c3db19076e7622c8f5ff92141c35a} Malbec and 2{83994d7454f8ce68441ea8152244c292227c3db19076e7622c8f5ff92141c35a} Petit Verdot.

It is beautiful right off the bat, red fruit aromas, nice mouthfeel, full bodied with cherry, blackberry flavors, touch of leather and tobacco; pleasant throughout, and strong in the finish. Just solid Cabernet.

This one should alert Napa Cab drinkers to the power and beauty of these wines coming out of WA state. A real treat for $35, and a fantastic Costco wine find.
