Good temps for general white/red consumption. As for the blackberry Merlot, I
believe you are correct about the makeup. Some producer(s) is blending berry
juice with Merlot (what percentage, heritage, etc. I have not a clue), and
selling it packaged. This is kinda' like the "wine coolers" of some decades
ago. Though, never having tried one, I should not be too critical, as it might
just be a wonderful concoction - I just have my doubts.
