My friend made the blackberry merlot and it was better than the cab as it was not as sweet, probably the 1 you would like better. As for this kit, I would add sugar until you have an SG is approx. 1.080 1.085. I would say that would be about 3 1/2 lbs to reach that but dont take my word for that, definitely less than 5 lbs. though. Have not tried the Mosti all juice kits yet, that would be Blackberry Magic Merlot.
