Black Box Wine

What’s the most delicious way to enjoy acclaimed wines without a hefty price tag? Lose the bottle. 

In 2003, Black Box Wines redefined the category by becoming the first U.S. vintner to offer super-premium, appellation-specific, vintage-dated wines in a box. Since then their expanding repertoire has earned 28 gold medals in wine competitions nationwide, yet still costs 40% less than comparable bottled wines. Explore our rich range of reds, from a full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon and complex Malbec to our easy-drinking Merlot, vibrant Shiraz and velvety Sweet Red. Our white wines are just as tempting, offering a succulent Pinot Grigio, our refreshing Chardonnay, a vivid Sauvignon Blanc.

The Malbec is cultivated in the foothills of the Andes, Argentina’s finest wine-growing region. The Mendoza province’s dry, warm climate allows ripeness to peak slowly, creating an enticingly complex palate bursting with blueberry and underlined by earthier notes.

TASTING NOTES
With heady floral and cherry aromas, our Malbec features a dry, medium-bodied palate, robust structure and well-balanced acidity for a pleasingly smooth finish. Enhancing its luscious blueberry notes are hints of tobacco, violet and chocolate.

PAIRING IDEAS
Perfect with steaks, grilled meats, mild cheeses, hearty Italian dishes and savory tapas.
