This Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon blend, under the new Bella Terra label, mixes dark and red fruit creating something more along the lines of purple or blue fruit ... Smooth and silky with a nice ease of drinking. There's a subtle note of pepper to give it some punch, but it's the strawberry-cherry finish that will win you over.  Price: $24.95 - Rating: *** ½+
