A nicely crafted 2017 red with berries, plums and hints of dark chocolate on the nose and palate. Medium body, creamy tannins and a savory finish. Pretty fruit at the end. Drink or hold.
Merlot: Origins, Flavor & Pairing Guide
View All Merlot Products →Merlot is a popular red wine grape variety known for its smooth texture and fruit-forward flavor profile. Characterized by notes of black cherry, plum, chocolate, and raspberry, it often features aromas of blackberry, vanilla, cedar, tobacco, and green bell pepper. This medium to full-bodied wine is typically produced in renowned regions such as Bordeaux in France, California in the USA, Chile, Italy’s Tuscany region, and Australia.
The winemaking techniques for Merlot include cold maceration and fermentation in stainless steel or oak barrels to enhance its complexity. Malolactic fermentation is commonly employed to soften the wine’s tannins. Merlot pairs beautifully with grilled meats like beef and lamb, roasted vegetables, pasta with red sauce, and duck dishes. Its versatility makes it an excellent choice for casual dining occasions such as barbecues and family gatherings while appealing to both seasoned red wine enthusiasts and newcomers alike.
