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.

Hardy's
2003 South Eastern Australia -- Shiraz
$16.99/ 3 liters = 4 bottles
purchased at HyVee; 3405 Oak View Dr, Omaha
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.

Target plans to carry chardonnay,
merlot, pinot grigio and shiraz in three-liter boxes, equivalent

already sells wine.
"This is our first private-label boxed wine," said Target

innovation for our wine sales."
