Merlot red wine (merlot)...

Both the eponymous grape variety and Merlot red wine are second in popularity to only one variety to the recognized "king of winemaking" Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. It is noteworthy that real connoisseurs and foodies believe that Merlot red wine best complements Cabernet Sauvignon, so it is worth drinking these two types of drinks together.
