Bota Box 2009 Old Vine 3 L Zinfandel (California)
- Best Buy
- $19
There is absolutely no better value in a California Zinfandel than this boxed wine, the equivalent of four regular bottles at $4.75 each. It’s a pretty wine, dry, silky and flavorful in raspberries, mocha and pepper.

Bota Box 2009 Riesling (California)
- Best Buy
- $20
The important thing to know about this Riesling is that it’s frankly sweet, with sugary apricot, orange, green apple and honeysuckle flavors. It’s also brilliantly clean and vibrant in acidity. If you like this off-dry style, it’s definitely for you.

Bota Box 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon (California)
- Best Buy
- $20
If more Americans are drinking wine from a box, it’s because of values like this 3L, the equivalent of four regular bottles. The wine is dry, smooth and flavorful, and the blackberries, herbs and spices are pleasant.

A nice wine in a box, and at the equivalent of about five bucks a bottle, a value. Crisp in acidity and clean, it has flavors of oranges, limes and apricots. A little too sweet, but at this price, who’s counting?
