Merlot Under $15 in Boston

About Merlot

Merlot at The Wild Duck in Boston is a soft, medium-bodied red wine grape, with bottles from makers such as Duckhorn, Decoy, Kendall-Jackson, Josh Cellars, Apothic and Barefoot. Merlot is generally known for plum and black cherry fruit and gentle tannins, which is why it is often the red people reach for when they want something smooth rather than sharp. Napa and Sonoma bottlings tend to be riper and fuller, while a lighter style suits weeknight meals. It pairs easily with roast chicken, burgers, pasta in red sauce and mild cheeses. You can buy Merlot in store in Boston, or choose pickup or delivery.
