2007 Black Box Wine California Merlot Black Box Wine

2007 Black Box Wine California Merlot

This easy-drinking wine has the soft, velvety texture typical of light-bodied Merlots. Plummy and slightly oaky, it goes well with grilled seafood and roasted chicken.

To buy: $25 for 3 liters (equivalent to four bottles), at liquor stores.

Perfect pairings:

  • Halibut with Grilled Eggplant Salad
  • Sweet and Spicy Chicken

Next: 2008 Fish Eye Pinot Grigio
