Merlot is a dark blue-colored wine grape variety, that is used both as a blending grape and for varietal wines. The name Merlot is thought to be a diminutive of merle, the French name for the blackbird, probably a reference to the color of the grape. Its versatility and soft, plush texture have made it one of the most popular grape varieties in the world.
Merlot wines tend to feature rich flavors of ripe plum, black cherry, and herbs, often combined with notes of tobacco and spice due to aging in oak barrels. These wines typically have medium acidity and tannins, which contribute to their smooth, approachable character. Many Merlot wines have a round, full-bodied profile with a velvety mouthfeel.
The Merlot grape is one of the primary grapes used in Bordeaux wine, and it is the most widely planted grape in the Bordeaux wine regions. Merlot is also one of the most popular red wine varietals in many markets. This flexibility has helped to maintain its popularity, even as the taste for other red wine varietals like Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah has grown.
