I received a bottle of Four Seasons Merlot red wine to
review.
Merlot (pronounced mare-low) is named after a
variety of thin-skinned grape that the wine is made from. The
Merlot grapes are grown around the Four Seasons winery near Baramati, about 65
kms from Pune.
I found Merlot to be very mild and smooth. It has a kind of
Plum flavor to it and is so easy to drink with Indian food.
Compared to other Indian wines, Four Seasons Merlot red wine
is priced well and reasonable at around $10.
Here are some more info from their website:
Four Seasons Merlot
Type: Still Red Wine
Grapes: Merlot
Origin: Baramati, Maharashtra, India
Style: Dry
Tasting notes:
Color: Ruby red with a hint of garnet

Serving suggestion: Enjoyed best at 16 - 18 degree C with medium spiced Indian dishes as well as roast lamb with all the trimmings.

ReplyDeleteWine for review? you should be lucky enough... Super clicks...
ReplyDeleteI can't tell you how many bottles of merlot I have consumed - not in India, though. It is a varietal grown in vineyards all over California and you can find inexpensive bottlings as well as extremely costly ones. I have had several award winners that were truly exceptional. I do miss my inexpensive CA wines. I'll have to try this merlot.
