Merlot Grape
The Merlot grape is dark blue and predominantly a wine grape variety, that is used as both a blending grape and for varietal wines; which means that it could be used to blend with other grapes or as the sole grape in a particular wine.
Chambourcin Grape
This grape was originally produced in France and is now one of the more popular hybrid grapes in Ohio, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, & New York because it is a cold-hardy hybrid that is also fungal resistant. Chambourcin is a “teinturier” grape, meaning that it has pink or red juice instead of clear juice that is typically found in black grapes.
While there is much to know about these two grapes, it's obvious that they blend well together to create a very palatable dry red table wine. The result is a nice medium-bodied wine that goes well with everything from meaty grilled fish to beef or even lamb. They are versatile cold-hardy grapes that can handle temperatures down to 0 or -10 (zone 6) and thus a versatile wine.
