Tannins
Posted by jimbill on June 14, 2011 at 19:21:22:
I thought the merlot grape had lower tannins than, say, cabernet sauvignon. I know you can increase tannins elsewhere by using new barrels, pressing the grapes harder to extract from the stems and seeds, etc..
Are you saying the merlot grapes in Napa are less tannic than elsewhere?
