Merlot

Merlot: Main Image

Merlot enjoys the reputation of a softer, fruitier, more accessible alternative to Cabernet Sauvignon while retaining the same general characteristics.

Native to the Bordeaux region of southwestern France, it is now planted worldwide and along with Cabernet Sauvignon, is one of the world’s most popular red wines.

Flavor Descriptors

Generally medium bodied with lush flavors of cherry and plum as well as mild herbaceous aromas, Merlot is a crowd-pleaser due to its velvety soft texture and generous fruitiness. New World examples often have toasted vanilla or mocha aromas from oak barrel aging.
