Merlot took a hit from the movie "Sideways." The Paul Giamatti character famously said “If anyone orders merlot, I'm leaving. I am NOT drinking any (expletive) merlot." Unfortunately, many took that to heart. But one of the most expensive wines in the world, Chateau Petrus is majority merlot, as are most of its cousins from Pomerol and the Right Bank of Bordeaux.
