Collection: Merlot

Merlot ripens early and drinks softer than Cabernet, with plush black-and-red fruit and rounder tannins. It anchors the Right Bank of Bordeaux, where the clay soils of Saint-Emilion and Pomerol give it depth and age-worthiness, and it makes approachable, fruit-forward reds across the New World.

Our Merlot selection includes:

• Right Bank Bordeaux — Merlot-led Saint-Emilion and Pomerol
• California — ripe, supple, varietal Merlot
• Washington State — structured, balanced reds
• Blends — Merlot's role in Bordeaux-style blends

Smooth and food-friendly, Merlot offers easy appeal and serious depth depending on the source, and our selection covers both ends.
