Is Merlot from Chile?

Unquestionably, Merlot works remarkably well in the varied terroirs of Chile where there are a wide range of locations from coast to inland valleys. Chilean Merlot wines tend to offer the alluring aromas of black cherry, raspberry and plum, as well as a hint of chocolate or spice found in black and red fruits. This region is endowed with a unique climate that favors the production of Merlot grapes with an acidity-sugar stabilization and a soft, velvety tannins, wines which are renowned for being user-friendly and are nice with food.
