Considered one of the most popular wine grape varieties in the world, Merlot Wine Grape is the most planted variety in the famed Bordeaux region of France. While it is generally used in blends with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot can also produce a very smooth tasting wine on its own, often giving notes of chocolate and vanilla. A rather adaptable variety, Merlot can be grown in cooler climates but thrives in warmer, milder climates where the result is an incredibly smooth and easy to drink wine.
