Black Box
2002 Sonoma County -- Merlot
$24.99/ 3 liters = 4 bottles
purchased at HyVee; 3405 Oak View Dr, Omaha

Our 2001 Merlot was crafted from selected lots from California's legendary Sonoma County. Velvety and lush in the mouth it exhibits aromas of leathery plums and cinnamon-spiced oak. The smooth, aged textured palate is complemented by sweet red currant flavors. The finish is long and warm with resolved tannins.

Black Box Wines makes America's highest quality boxed wine. Our vintage dated wines come from the world's premier growing regions. Boxed wines from our winery are available in retail stores throughout the US. You can now enjoy excellent tasting wine in a 3-liter box for about half the price you would pay for a bottled wine of the same quality. As an additional bonus, our bag-in-box package protects your wine, keeping it fresh for at least 4 weeks after opening.

Medium to brick red with purple hues, the Hardys Stamp of Australia Shiraz displays aromas of spicy cinnamon, raspberry, and cherries. These aromas continue onto a mouthfilling flavorsome palate, where raspberry and cherry flavors combine beautifully with spicy cinnamon. This approachable style of wine is best consumed within the next 12 months, ideally as an accompaniment to red meats, and full flavored cheeses.

Wine Cube
2003 Cabernet/Shiraz
St. Helena, Napa County, California
$17.99/ 3 liters = 4 bottles
made exclusively for Target

Target plans to carry chardonnay, merlot, pinot grigio and shiraz in three-liter boxes, equivalent to about four bottles each. The discount retailer, a division of giant Target Corp. plans to sell them for $15.99 in California and Florida stores and SuperTarget stores in states where it already sells wine.

"This is our first private-label boxed wine," said Target spokeswoman Aimee Sands. "We're optimistic this is a great innovation for our wine sales."

Trinchero Family Estates, which is owned by Sutter Home Winery in Napa, contracts with dozens of growers in the Lodi and Delta regions, Chandler said.
