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.
Tasting Merlotâor any other kind of wineâinvolves more than just your sense of taste; it also involves sight, smell, and a certain kind of touch. 1. Look at the Color. Hold your glass up to the light. Color can vary substantially, even within the same varietal. Reds range in color from pale red to dark brown.
