Merlot is a popular red wine made from black-skinned grapes renowned for its soft and approachable flavor profile. Originating from France’s Bordeaux region, it is now cultivated worldwide, including in the U.S., Italy, and Chile. Merlot typically features notes of plum, black cherry, and hints of vanilla or chocolate, depending on its aging process. A standard 5-ounce glass contains approximately 120 calories, with trace amounts of carbohydrates and no fat or protein. While moderate consumption of Merlot can offer antioxidants like resveratrol, which may support heart health, excessive drinking outweighs these benefits and poses health risks, such as liver damage or increased calorie intake. Pair this versatile wine with dishes from Italian to French cuisines or hearty proteins like roast chicken or lamb. Enjoy Merlot responsibly to savor its rich flavors and potential health benefits without overindulging.
