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 grapes make a wine that ages quickly and is ready for consumption in just four to six months. A low-acid wine, it is a lovely drink with steak, pasta or even chocolate. Many white wine drinkers will even have a glass of Merlot occasionally.
