  • Forget the message from the film "Sideways" -- Merlot-based wines are some of the world's best and most expensive. Merlots are generally soft, rich, round, supple and fruity. Duckhorn, a leading producer of quality Merlot wines, has been producing them since the late 70s. The Merlots from Freemark Abbey, Joseph Phelps, Storrs, Paradigm and Lewis Cellars are all consistently rich, ripe and complex, with lovely flavors of berries, plums, chocolate and cedar.
