Merlot

Merlot, a grape variety of major importance in Bordeaux, has come into fashion in California during the last twenty years. The reason is that the wine at its best has distinctly fruity aromas and flavors, and in its youth is typically rounder and more supple than Cabernet Sauvignon. "Rich black cherry aromas are followed by lush fruit flavors with hints of mint and vanilla. Full-bodied in the classic Merlot style, this wine is soft on the palate, with a long finish. An excellent companion to lamb, beef, or hearty pasta dishes."
