About This Dish

Merlot Beringer at Olive Garden is a California Merlot from one of Napa Valley's oldest wineries, available for takeout at $26.25 per bottle and containing 660 calories. Beringer Winery was established in 1876 and remains one of the most widely recognized names in California wine. Their Merlot is known for plum, blueberry, and blackberry flavors layered with dark chocolate and spice undertones — a classic soft, approachable California red that appeals to guests who prefer full-fruited reds without Cabernet Sauvignon's heavier tannin structure.

Merlot is the most approachable dry red wine for guests who are newer to red wine — it is softer and less tannic than Cabernet Sauvignon, more fruit-forward than Chianti, and pairs with a broader range of Olive Garden dishes than any other single red variety on the menu. The Beringer version specifically is designed for broad appeal, prioritizing accessible fruit character over complexity, which is why it works well in the casual dining context where food and conversation take priority over detailed wine analysis.
