~ (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Currently considered one of the "trendiest" grape varieties, Merlot has long been a staple, but less well-known variety in the vineyards of Bordeaux, used in blends with Cabernet Sauvignon to add soft, supple fruit to the final wine. More recently Merlot has made its name as the predominant variety in the highly sought-after "garagiste" wines of Pomerol and St-Emilion of Bordeaux.

To add to its fame, it has also recently been widely suggested that one glass of Chilean Merlot a day may be beneficial to health. This is an eye-opening, tip-filled guide to the wines of the rising star that is Merlot.
