 Tasted by Ian S on 1/2/2006: 2 years ago this was closed & little has changed in that time. It's certainly a good wine, but it's progressing much slower than expected. Open the last one in 2008-2011

Merlot

Merlot is a dark blue–colored wine grape variety, that is used as both a blending grape and for varietal wines. The name Merlot is thought to be a diminutive of merle, the French name for the blackbird, probably a reference to the color of the grape. Its softness and "fleshiness", combined with its earlier ripening, makes Merlot a popular grape for blending with the sterner, later-ripening Cabernet Sauvignon, which tends to be higher in tannin.
