These wines are often said to have a plummy taste and notes of chocolate. It’s also considered to be smooth and very easy to drink.

Merlot, which in French means The Little Blackbird, is the second most popular red grape in America. 

Taste: A soft, silky texture with flavors of strawberry, raspberry and plum, accompanied by some vegetal notes in cooler climates, which change to blackberry and black cherry, with additional chocolate and fruitcake flavors in hotter climates.

Tannin: Low to medium

Acidity: Low to medium

Age: Most should be drunk young as only the finest wines need time to develop.

Love it but like to tweak it.

I use this kit the Cab kit to make a Cab/Merlot blend and then re-rack at least 4 times before bottling (no filtering necessary). I also did another Merlot kit and added 10 sticks of cinnamon thrown into the initial fermentation and it turned out wonderful.
