Merlot is one of those grape varieties, that everyone has heard about, but actually it is really hard to find 100% Merlot-based wines. Although Merlot is often referred as the blending partner for the Cabernet Sauvignon grape, Merlot on its own can produce great and age worthy wines. In this video I will talk about this grape variety in general, how it tastes and smells like, where it is grown, recommended food pairings, as well as notable producers. • Some of the WINE ACCESSORIES I use regularly: • 🍷 Riedel Veritas Old World Syrah Glass: https://amzn.to/3uC6zgW • 🥂 Riedel Veritas New World Pinot Noir Glass: https://amzn.to/3uG8Nfc • 🗜️ Coravin Model Two Wine Preservation System: https://amzn.to/3FaFbLK • 🍾 Cork puller: https://amzn.to/3iBrFZZ • 📚 Some of my favorite WINE BOOKS: • 📓 Flawless: Understanding Faults in Wine by Jamie Goode: https://amzn.to/3eb7AYP • 📒 Understanding Wine Technology: The Science of Wine Explained by David Bird: https://amzn.to/3e2qBNb • 📕 Authentic Wine: Toward Natural and Sustainable Winemaking (by Jamie Goode): https://amzn.to/3ygtuAC • 📘 The Oxford Companion to Wine (by Jancis Robinson): https://amzn.to/3ryy0H6 • 📙Wine Grapes: A Complete Guide to 1,368 Vine Varieties, Including Their Origins and Flavours (by Jancis Robinson, Julia Harding and Jose Vouillamoz): https://amzn.to/3RCAheM • 📗 A Life Uncorked (by Hugh Johnson): https://amzn.to/3M5yeyQ • As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. • **Contents of this video • 0:00 Introduction • 1:11 What Does Merlot Taste Like? • 2:18 Merlot From Bordeaux • 3:09 Merlot From Other Countries • 4:08 Pairing Merlot With Food • 4:33 Notable Producers • More videos in this series: • 1) Beginners Guide to RIESLING: • Wine Grapes 101: RIESLING • 2) Beginners Guide to SAUVIGNON BLANC: • Wine Grapes 101: SAUVIGNON BLANC • 3) Beginners Guide to PINOT NOIR: • Wine Grapes 101: PINOT NOIR • 4) Beginners Guide to PRIMITIVO A.K.A.
