Black Box Wine Review

I've been hearing great things about Black Box Wines...  or maybe I have just been seeing them everywhere.  I wanted to know 'is this stuff any good?'  and when i mean 'good' I mean better than 2 Buck-Chuck, because that is my point of reference on wine these days ;)

Our local Safeway had these on sale for 30% off and I was able to get $1 back through an Ibotta rebate making my box $16.50.  A Black Box is equal to 4 full bottles of wine so my cost per bottle is now just $4.13.  That is a price I can justify!


Black Box proudly announces their wine to be award-winning of 40 Gold Medals through Wine Enthusiast and having been awarded 27 Best Buy marks as well!  Sounds impressive!


"Rich aromas of dark fruit complemented by a deep, lush body the finish is soft and long with lingering notes of berry".  Well said Black Box, well said.

I purchased the Cabernet Sauvignon because I prefer a deep red wine in the winter and wanted to fully use my ibotta rebate- which was only on a selected few.

I thoroughly enjoyed this wine.  I felt it had very nice flavor, was a spot-on Cabernet and the finish was warm and soothing. Not at all cheap or bitter, just pleasant.  I would rate this wine as a good $10-12 bottle.  Certainly a fantastic value, I will certainly be purchasing this brand again, excited to try the other flavors they offer!  Malbec and Shiraz are next on my list!  With a selection of 11 types of wines offered- I bet your favorite is on there too!


Black Box claims the box will stay fresh for 4 weeks.  Challenge accepted!  Who am I kidding, this will probably only last 2 weeks at my house ;)  This would be perfect for a party too, or fancy dinner events- simply disperse into a glass decanter and you instantly have designer wine on a budget price!

This review was not at all sponsored by Black Box Wines, I simply purchased this out of my own free will for the sake of pure education.  This review was the opinion of both my husband and I combined.

Cheers!
