James Halliday – 70% cabernet sauvignon, 24% merlot, the remainder cabernet franc, petit verdot and malbec, 18 months in French barriques (60% new). Bright, clear colour; a remarkably elegant, juicy red and black berry fruit-filled wine, neither oak or tannins seeking to interfere with the fruit. One of those rare wines to be drunk now or in 20+ years. Rating 96” Halliday Wine Companion 2017

Wine Enthusiast – The nose on this wine is reserved, delicate and approachable. It opens with a strong presence of eucalyptus and sambuca flower followed by gunpowder, slate, brick and bright cherries. The palate is still very herbaceous, giving way to coffee grinds, chocolate and more cherries. Tannins still feel dense but not impenetrable, and acid lends crunch to the fruit.?

Robert Parker/Wine Advocate – The 2019 Chianti Classico Riserva is an organic blend of 80% Sangiovese and 20% Merlot. I can't say enough good things about Barbara Widmer and her winemaking efforts in this wild and forested corner of Radda in Chianti. Her wines always express clarity and focus, and this is especially clear in a mid-range product like this. This vintage offers more concentration and darkness for sure, followed by blackberry and wild plum. There is oaky cinnamon and sweet spice at the back.

World Wine – “Deep ruby. Lovely aromas of dark plum, blackcurrant, graphite and black pepper. Then smooth and rich on the palate, with ripe blackberry and chocolate-covered blackcurrant flavors showing very good precision and lift. Finishes with lively acids and a bit of warmth, but this balanced, serious wine will provide delicious early drinking.” 87-90 points - Ian D'Agata, vinous.com

James Suckling – A prototypical Médoc wine with very good depth and beautiful harmony. I love the long, moderately dry and savory finish that pulls your hand instinctively back to the glass. A blend of 50 per cent cabernet sauvignon and 50 per cent merlot. Drink or hold.

James Suckling – The 2021 Bolgheri Rosso is floral with ripe raspberry and boysenberry, pine, violet, and balsamic. It is medium to full bodied, with nice concentration in its notes of black cherry, red plum, and turned earth. A great value that packs a lot of wine for the dollar, it is a great introduction to the style of the estate.

Robert Parker/Wine Advocate – "The 2020 Il Pino di Biserno is bold and ripe with creamy blackberry, candied cherry, spice and tarry smoke. There are pressed roses, blood oranges and tea leaves buried deep inside. The tannins are pronounced, but this full-bodied Tuscan red is almost ready to go straight out of the gate." - Monica Larner, Wine Advocate

Merlot, a grape variety that originated from the Bordeaux region of France, has captured the hearts of many with its inherent charm and versatility. The name "Merlot" itself is believed to be a diminutive of "merle," the French word for blackbird, possibly referencing the grape's beautiful deep blue color. Its popularity has led to it being cultivated in various wine-producing regions across the world, each imprinting its unique terroir onto the grape. This varietal is often characterized by its luscious plum, black cherry, and raspberry flavors, complemented by subtle notes of chocolate, bay leaf, and sometimes, vanilla. The wines produced are often medium to full-bodied with a velvety texture, making it highly approachable for both novices and connoisseurs. The grape's adaptability means it can be crafted into everything from opulent, age-worthy bottles to more youthful and vibrant wines. Its enduring appeal lies in its ability to beautifully express both its origin and the winemaker's vision.
Merlot wine is the velvety embodiment of elegance and versatility in the vinous world. Originating from the Bordeaux region of France, Merlot has since traveled across the globe, planting its roots in various terroirs and expressing distinct regional characteristics. Often recognized for its plush texture, approachable tannins, and notes of ripe plum, cherry, and sometimes hints of chocolate, Merlot stands as both a cornerstone in legendary Bordeaux blends and a star in its own right. Its adaptable nature allows it to flourish in various climates, rendering it a favorite among growers and wine enthusiasts alike.
Merlot's popularity spans the globe, from its homeland in Bordeaux, where it often plays a pivotal role in iconic blends, especially those from the Right Bank like Saint-Émilion and Pomerol, to regions like California's Napa Valley, where it shines as both a blending component and a varietal wine. Countries like Chile, Australia, and South Africa also produce widely recognized and loved Merlot wines, each showcasing the grape's ability to adapt and express the unique nuances of its terroir.
While Merlot is primarily known as a red grape, its expressions can be quite diverse. Classic red Merlot is plush, medium to full-bodied with notes of dark fruits, herbs, and sometimes vanilla from oak aging. In cooler climates, it might lean towards red fruits and exhibit earthier undertones. There's also White Merlot, a rosé-style wine made from Merlot grapes, which is lighter, fruit-forward, and perfect for sipping on warm days. Finally, in blends, Merlot can vary in proportion, from dominant to minimal, influencing the wine's structure, flavor profile, and aging potential.
Merlot's plushness and fruit-forward nature make it a versatile partner at the dinner table. For classic red Merlots, think roasted meats – lamb, duck, or beef dishes with rich sauces. The wine's inherent fruitiness also complements dishes like pork with plum sauce or even grilled mushrooms. Pasta with tomato-based sauces or meatballs are delightful pairings too. For White Merlot or rosé styles, lighter dishes such as salads, seafood, or even a charcuterie board would be ideal. Whether you're indulging in comfort food or gourmet preparations, Merlot wines have an uncanny ability to elevate the dining experience.
