Merlot

Merlot grapes are lower in tannins and makes wines that mature faster and are softer in texture. Merlot is often blended with Cabernet Sauvignon in order to soften the blend. Merlot develops a wine that is dry, rich in flavor and smooth as it finishes in your throat. Merlot should be served slightly below room temperature.

Merlot makes a nice drink with veal, lamb, and sausage.
