In French, the word Merlot means "young blackbird," probably alluding to the grape's beautiful dark-blue color. Merlot grapes ripen fairly early and have lower trannins compared to Cabernet Sauvignon. Merlot wines are medium to dark red in color, rich and fruity, with characteristics of black currant, cherry and mint. |
