Merlot is a red grape variety widely grown around the world, particularly in the Bordeaux region of France, as well as in the United States, Italy, and Chile. It produces medium to full-bodied wines with soft tannins and flavors of dark fruit, such as plum and blackberry, along with notes of chocolate and herbs. The ABV for Merlot wines typically ranges from 13-15%. Its popularity is due to its smooth, approachable profile and versatility in blending.
The varied soils and climates of regions where Merlot is grown allow the grape to develop a range of expressions, from fruity and accessible to more structured and age-worthy.
