Merlot
The best quality Merlot grows in rocky, arid ground but is fairly adaptable. While the Merlot flavour profile is similar to Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot tends to be less distinctive and carry a slightly more herb like aroma and flavour. Ripeness seems to effect flavour and aroma in that both under ripe and overripe grapes tend towards a more herb flavour and aroma. Merlot, because of its lower natural acidity, generally is less astringent and usually has a more lush feel on the palate. The most frequent aromas and flavours typically found in Merlot include currant, black cherry, plum, violet, rose, caramel, clove, bay leaf, green peppercorn, bell pepper, green olive.
