Merlot | Day 21 of the 2024 Wine Advent Calendar from DrinkinItIn | Daily Grape

This is Day 21 of the 2024 Wine Advent Calendar from DrinkinItIn and we are talking about Merlot. Merlot is grown in a lot of the cooler places in the worl and this grape used to dominate the wine world back in the 1990s. However, once every winemaker jumped on the trend and the movie Sideways kicked the Pinot Noir craze into high gear, it became an afterthought.
Merlot is a great wine for those who love Cabernet Sauvignon but need something a bit softer. I alos love when I get a chocolate note when tasting a Merlot.

The wine referenced in this video is below:

Each day during this Advent celebration we will discuss a grape, its flavor profile, where it is grown and one wine I know you will love if you see it on store shelves.

Hope you will join us each day for a new video on a different grape to set you up for a festive month of wine!

Cheers!
