Merlot is a grape, just like Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir or Shiraz. If you really like merlot, try some of the Bordeaux wines specifically from St. Emilion and Pomerol.In St. Emilion the merlot is usually blended with cabernet sauvignon and cabernet franc. They tend to be a little more structured and not as jammy as California merlot and pair better with foods.
