Merlot is thought to take its name from merle, the French word for blackbird. At Jordan, the name Black Magic Merlot has another story to tell.
Our Merlot vines are rooted in Black Tourmaline-rich granite, where the dark soils help shape an inky, expressive w**e with notes of red plum, dark bitter chocolate and seductive perfume, wrapped in generous, velvety tannins and subtle French oak.
On International Merlot Day, we’re raising a glass to the grape, the soil and the little bit of magic that brings it all together.
