What comes with the Coldwater Creek Merlot (175ml)

  1. 01

    Merlot

    The ruby-red wine provides a soft, velvety texture, with low tannins and a mellow finish.

  2. 02

    Dark fruit notes

  3. 03

    Warming spice notes

    A subtle warming spice note adds another layer to the flavour without dominating the dark fruit.

The dish

What the Coldwater Creek Merlot (175ml) is like

This Merlot is a soft, fruit-led red, with ripe dark plum and sweet black cherry at the centre of its flavour. A subtle hint of warming spice sits behind the fruit rather than taking over. The texture is described as velvety, and the low tannins make the finish mellow rather than firmly drying. That makes it a sensible choice if you prefer an approachable red.

Served at room temperature, the wine pours a rich ruby red. Its appeal is the combination of smooth texture and clear dark-fruit notes. For food, the supplied description recommends a beef burger or beef madras, with the wine complementing the savoury meat.

Value

Price within this section£3.29
Lowest £1.49Highest £4.49

At a typical £3.29, this is worth considering if a soft, fruity red is what you want, rather than choosing purely on cost. Prices are set by each pub, so compare the local menu before deciding.

Coldwater Creek Pinot Grigio is another wine listed in the same section, while Pint of Ruddles Best and Pint of Guinness provide alternatives if you are considering beer. Many mains can be ordered with an eligible drink, but check whether this Merlot qualifies before assuming a meal option offers better value.

Calories for this Merlot are not verified in our data, so check the official nutrition information for the listed glass serving. There is no reliable figure here to use for a meal total or a share of daily intake.

If you order it with a beef burger or beef madras, account for the food separately. Any additional sides, sauces or drinks also need to be included in your total. Use the nutrition information for the exact items and serving sizes you choose.

Recipes and suppliers change, and kitchens handle all 14 major allergens. Always tell staff about an allergy and check the official allergen information before ordering. No dish can be guaranteed allergen free.

This Merlot is tagged vegan and vegetarian in our data, and sulphur dioxide is the listed allergen. Those dietary tags do not mean the wine is suitable for someone who needs to avoid sulphur dioxide.

If that allergen matters to you, check the pub's current allergen information before ordering. A substitute wine or different drink may have different dietary tags and allergens, so do not assume a swap is equivalent. Food ordered alongside the glass needs its own dietary and allergen check.

Occasions

When to order the Coldwater Creek Merlot (175ml)

  • Soft red preferences

    Choose this if you favour a mellow red with low tannins. The plum and black cherry notes suit someone looking for fruit-led flavour rather than a firmly drying finish.

  • A savoury meal

    Consider a glass alongside a beef burger or beef madras. Both are recommended in the supplied description as matches for the wine's smooth, dark-fruit character.

  • A quiet evening

    This is a straightforward choice for a cosy evening when you want a glass of red with an approachable flavour profile and a soft, velvety texture.

Ordering tips

Tips for ordering the Coldwater Creek Merlot (175ml)
