Merlot
In French the word Merlot means "young blackbird," probably alluding to the
grape's beautiful dark-blue color. Merlot is less tannic than Cabernet
Sauvignon so it yields a wine that is softer on the palate. For this reason
it is widely used for blending with Cabernet Sauvignon in Bordeaux and elsewhere. |
