Merlot buds and ripens ahead of Cabernet Sauvignon, which widens the ground where it can finish a season. DNA work in the 1990s traced it to a cross of Cabernet Franc with Magdeleine Noire des Charentes, an old Charentes variety, so the two Cabernets sit in its family tree as parent and half-sibling. Doubleback's 2023 is bottled as a varietal Merlot.
