Here is a Cabernet Sauvignon-Merlot blend that borrows on Bordeaux inspiration but delivers an all-Italian personality. Earthy smells are woven seamlessly with notes of forest berry, blackberry and cedar wood; there’s also an appealing hint of smoked bacon. The wine appears firm and solid in the mouth. ——M.L.(4/1/2007)—— 90
