Merlot

The term "merlot" is thought to be derived from the French word for "blackbird" because of the grape's dark blue color. Merlot has a full profile of flavors, as the grape's flavor depends on the climate during growth. Cooler climates bring out the taste of strawberries, plums, and ceder; medium climates bring out the tastes of blackberries, black plums, and black plums; warmer climates bring out the tastes of fuitcake and chocolate.

Can you use a merlot wine to make a marsala sauce?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Probabaly not a good idea; Marsala wine tends to be amber, has a smokey flavor, and can be dry, semisweet, or sweet, depending on the way it is aged. It is an apertif, and found in many deserts. A lot of foods call for it; however, it's not the same as your standard 'white cooking wine'. * Obviously, it depends on what you are trying to do. * If it's good enough to cook with, it's good enough to drink, IMHO. And for sure if you would not drink it, don't cook with it.

Think of the difference between a border collie and a Labrador. Both are dogs but are bred in different places to enhance different characteristics.
