Fun Wine Facts!
Merlot is a dark blue-colored wine grape variety,
that is used as both 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 softness and "fleshiness", combined with
its earlier ripening, makes Merlot a popular grape
for blending with the sterner, later-ripening
Cabernet Sauvignon, which tends to be higher in
tannin.
