Shiraz and Merlot are both great drinking red wines. Shiraz will have a more fruit forward taste and a little more tannin, Merlots are know to be more middle of the road as far as fruit, tannins and style. Merlots were the hot wine to have during the mid 90's everyone wanted them then Shiraz came in from Australia around 10 years latter offered great value and very drinkable wines and became the darling. Prices of Merlot have come down and Shiraz is still a great buy. Enjoy either!
