Rebel Wines brainchild Charles Bieler already wowed us with his guzzle-worthy Bandit Pinot Grigio, and it wasn't long before we came across his equally affordable, blue-boxed Merlot. The Merlot offers outgoing aromas and flavors of ripe plum and spice that last through the juicy finish. Great when serving hearty beef stew for more than four, Bandit Merlot is also good with a slight chill during warmer months. Packaged in the same group-friendly, liter-sized Tetra Pak as the top-selling Pinot Grigio, you can reseal the unfinished box and store in the fridge for up to five days' worth of weeknight wine.
