Château Kirwan 2022 is a celebrated Third Growth (Troisième Cru) red Bordeaux from the prestigious Margaux appellation in the Médoc region of Bordeaux, France. The estate was founded in 1710 and has been producing wine on the left bank of the Gironde ever since. Costco sells this wine as a case of 6 x 750ml bottles, representing an exceptional value for a classified Bordeaux growth.

The 2022 vintage is a blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc, and 6% Petit Verdot, aged for 18 months in French oak barrels. The 2022 growing season was outstanding for the entire Bordeaux region, yielding wines of remarkable concentration, balance, and longevity.

On the nose, the wine reveals red currants, fresh rose petals, crème de cassis, Indian spice, lava rock, blackberry, bilberry, cedar, and crushed iris flower. The palate is medium to full-bodied with granular, polished tannins, a round concentrated mouthfeel, and a long elegant finish. Neal Martin of Vinous rated this vintage 93 points, and the CellarTracker community gives it an average of 92.7 points across multiple reviews. While approachable now with decanting, this wine has the structure and depth to cellar beautifully for 20 to 30 years. Ideal with roasted lamb, beef, duck, and other rich meat preparations.
