Merlot is a dark blue-colored wine grape variety, that is used as both a blending grape and for varietal wines. The name Merlot is thought to be a diminutive of merle, the French name for the blackbird, probably a reference to the color of the grape.
Merlot is also widely used in the production of red wines. Not only that, it is a known ingredient in most wines. It is believed that the grape got its name from the French word which translates blackbird, and named such because of its color. Most wines produce from Merlot are of medium-body.
