Merlot, admired for its velvety texture, holds a delightful avian connection. Translating to "young blackbird," it is believed French winemakers bestowed this name upon the grape due to its striking blue-black color similar to the plumage of a blackbird. While its roots are in Bordeaux, California's Central Coast also grows fantastic merlot grapes, including those found in this Sliver Award Winner.
