The Merlot grape is a variety of red wine grapes that are linked to Bordeaux and South Western France. Apart from Pomerol and Saint-Émilion which are the areas that Merlot originated from, the grape is now broadly planted across the world.

It has an enduring finish with aromas of cherry, red berry, and wild strawberry with hints of spices, and flavors of blackberry and plum. It is well rounded, smooth, and well-structured due to the thickness of the skin of the merlot grape where tannins are found.

Merlot Grapes are the most extensively planted red wine grape variety in France and are also quite popular in California and Washington, Southern Switzerland, and Northern Italy among other places in the world.
