Kirkland Signature has quite a few wines with its label that prove to be an exceptional value. Unfortunately they never seem to be in stock long- so when you see it pick it up. Try a bottle that night and if you enjoy it, go back the next day and pick up a case
Shifting grapes, but they have a strong showing with Malbec too. ^
