Merlot

Merlot (Mair LO) is currently the world's most popular red wine. Originally used as a blending grape in Bordeaux to soften Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot has captured the attention of the everyday wine consumer because of its fresh, ripe fruit appeal. Merlot offers red fruit components such as cherry, plum and currants with hints of cedar prominent with oak aging. Merlot dominates the Right Bank communes of Saint Emilion and Pomerol where the wines are refined and elegant with loads of complexity. It is capable of producing wines that are full-bodied and tannic, but most wine producing areas focus on the friendly, soft and fruit-forward style. Serve at room temperature with lamb, duck, veal and cheese.
