Went to a tasting yesterday and they had the Black Box wines on the menu. We tried the sauvignon blanc, cabernet sauvignon and malbec. I think the SB is from New Zealand but I didnt get much chance to read the boxes.
The cabernet was poor not disgusting or undrinkable but thin and didnt taste much like cab.
The SB was pleasant; very NZ in profile. Crisp and well made.
The malbec was a treat. It started off smelling and tasting of its variety but a bit sweet. After some time in the glass, the character came out and it was pretty yummy.
These are all in three liter containers for $16/box.
I only had brief tastes here so take these comments with a grain of salt but I will probably buy a box of malbec soon more then.
Best, Jim
