Merlot is currently the most popular red wine varietal in
the world. You cannot mention Saint-Emilion or Pomerol without
talking about Merlot as it is the dominant varietal. Merlot grapes
ripen fairly early and have lower tannins and higher sugar levels.
Merlot is used to produce some of the highest priced wines
in the entire world. Some bottles fetch prices well over $400.00 per
bottle.
