At j.k.l.m farm we make our own delicious grape wine from our home. Merlot has become an important red grape throughout the world. Merlot grapes, also known as Merlot noir in Bordeaux, have been used to soften wines made from Cabernet sauvignon for many years. Merlot is a popular, medium bodied red wine grape varietal known for its soft texture, fruity flavors, and ease of drinking. It is often characterized by notes of plum, black cherry, and black berry, and can also exhibit hints of chocolate and vanilla when aged in oak. It’s made from red skinned grapes that can adapt to a variety of climates to produce food friendly wines in many price points. Merlot can be velvety and plummy, or rich and oaky. There is something for everyone, which is why Merlot is adored.
