International Merlot Day is November 7th and to celebrate we\u2019re sharing just why this delicious grape is so special. Merlot is one of the world\u2019s most popular red wines and rightfully so. This wine rose to popularity for its versatility, affordability, and food-friendliness. It is also a rather easy grape to pronounce (MARE-low), which is thought to have been a reason it became so popular in the United States. As it rose in popularity over the years, it is now the second-most planted grape in the world. Merlot means \u201cthe little blackbird\u201d in French, a reference to the grape\u2019s dark color or the blackbirds’ enjoyment of eating these grapes.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The Merlot grape is a cross between Cabernet Franc and Magdeleine Noire des Charentes. Since it is made from Cabernet Franc, it is a half-sibling to Cabernet Sauvignon, another popular red. Merlot is a dry, full-bodied wine with medium tannins. It has fewer tannins than your average full-bodied wine, making it easy to drink. While Merlot is very versatile, its prominent flavors and tasting notes include black cherry, plums, blackberries, raspberries, graphite, herbs, and cocoa. When aged in oak, it often has clove, vanilla, and cedar flavors. Merlot is known to adapt to its climate, and its aromas and notes really take on the character of its terroir and winemaking techniques.<\/p>
