High End Merlot Wine
High End Merlot Wine
Merlot is one of the most popular red grape varieties in the world despite the famous quote in the cult classic, Sideways, ‘If anyone orders Merlot I’m leaving!’. This dark blue grape is famous for the role it plays in the great blends of Bordeaux, adding body and softness to its sterner friends, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.
We have a range of high end Merlot wines, many of which are rated 90+ points, these wines are fruit forward and easy drinking. Our high end Merlot wines are best paired with homemade burgers.
