Which wine is sweeter merlot or pinot noir?
I really depends on the wine maker. Merlot tends to be a little more fruity and a little more smoother. Pinot Noir can be really sweet, but also can be very dry, alcoholic and/or earthy (not suite). My exspensive, cheap Pinot tends to be sweeter than merlot which tends to be sweeter than more complex and exspensive pinots (espcially from France and Washington). What are you talking about? Merlot is dense, dry and not at all expressive...VERY generally speaking... quite dull...sweet? Not at all. Pinot noir is not at all sweet either, but VERY expressive! I assume you confuse "sweet" with flavors of fruit. Looking for fruit between the two..pinot. Looking for "sweet"...look elsewhere pal. You also might consider some classes in english.
