Are you sure it's a white merlot? "White merlot" is a blush wine that I think only recently came into existence, largely to cash in on the popularity of other sweet, uncomplicated blush wines like white zinfandel. These wines are meant to be drunk as soon as they are made, and I can't imagine they'd be drinkable after 10 years of aging. Could you check the label and report back on exactly what this wine is?
