🍷 Timeless, rich, and effortlessly elegant - Fine Merlot has been a Colonial Candle classic for over four decades, and it’s easy to see why. Inspired by the allure of a perfectly aged glass of wine, this fragrance captures the essence of luxury living. Juicy red apple and muddled berries open the scent with a fruity brightness, while delicate notes of plum and dark violet add a refined depth. At the heart, warm mulling spices mingle with creamy vanilla and smooth musk, creating an indulgent, cocktail-like aroma that’s both inviting and sophisticated.

Primary scents: Red Apple, Plum, Muddled Berries, Mulling Spices, Vanilla, Musk

UNIQUE OVAL JAR | Our patented oval-shaped jar enhances the fragrance experience by creating a larger wax pool, allowing for a more robust and widespread scent distribution.

MOTTLED WAX | The wax's marbled or frosted look, popular among candle makers, adds a visually striking and unique snow-flake like appearance to each candle.

ENHANCED FRAGRANCE DISPERSION | The mottled wax's loose crystal formation coupled with improved airflow due to oval shaped jar is more effective in releasing fragrances compared to smooth waxes, ensuring a stronger and more consistent scent experience.

MERLOT | Nothing says refined elegance like Fine Merlot. The fresh scent of fruits blends together with mulled spices to fill the air with the perfect cocktail aroma.

FRAGRANCE | Top Notes: Red Apple, Crushed Almond, Coconut; Middle Notes: Plum, Muddled Berries, Dark Violet; Base Notes: Mulling Spices, Vanilla, Smooth Musk

LONG LASTING | Featuring two premium cotton wicks, this mottled-look premium paraffin wax candle boasts a premium fragrance load for a powerful experience. Burn time: 35+ hours.

I love Colonial Candles

I love Colonial Candles. The scent lasts until the very end of the candle. I especially like the Merlot scent. Makes me want to open a bottle of a good Merlot like Margaux.

Love the scent

My only complaint is that the candle burns down to about 1/4 inch and won’t completely burn any further.

Soothing sophisticated scent

This candle men and women love. I bought it because I used to buy it in 2015 and it was discontinued. It is the same scent. 4 people I have given to that loved it before agreed with me. Happy to have it back. It’s warm and comforting.

My favorite scent has returned!

I purchased Fine Merlot ovals way back in the 1980’. At some point in time, the scent was discontinued. I checked back to see if it was resurrected from time to time throughout the years, and lo and behold, here it is! I missed it! It is exactly the same as it used to be! Thank you so much! It’s a clean mix of grape 🍇, berry 🫐🍓and a little sweet cherry 🍒

Fine Merlot candles

at one time this sent was canceled. I had called and then about a year later or so they came out with 3 ounce candles. Happy now that they are selling the larger candle. Best scent I ever had.

The most amazing Merlot candle!

Blessings Amazon Family,

This candle is amazing!!! I received my first over 23 years ago from my then fianc�. We are now in it 22 years long and I still consider this candle�s essence and color that of our TruLuv. It permeates a beautiful scent, and when we have guests I�m always asked what I�m burning because it smells so yummy! In the most recent years I have only been able to purchase the original merlot candle on Amazon. I�m grateful for this. Highly recommend!

Fine Merlot classic edition

I only wish these were the old 22 ounce size. The smell is so much better than the white version you have. You know, the classics are classics for a reason.

Merlot scent!!!

Disappointed

I was very disappointed in the size of these candles once I received them. I have always purchased the larger full size oval candles in the past and just didn’t realize how small these were. Plus having to pay an additional 12.99 for shipping. It wasn’t worth it. You need to bring back the full size ovals.

Best smell, ever!!

I have been purchasing this candle scent, Fine Merlot, for years. I cannot even begin to express how much I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it. It has become my signature fragrance & people identify it with me. I've given it many times as gifts. I just have to burn it for a short time and my entire apartment smells so great. I wish you still made it in larger sizes.

Loving memories

My step-daughter and I found this beautiful 3-wick fine merlot candle in Gruene, Texas years ago. It had a picture of a wine glass with wine on the label. We both loved it and burned it often. She moved out years ago, but she said she still remembers that scent and it reminds her of home. The scent makes me happy and I have loving memories of her living at home and the time we spend together as a family. We usually buy each other the smaller candle for gifts because its the only one we can find. We would love to see the larger 3-wick candle return.

Love my Merlot candle❣️ Wished it came in larger sizes.

My Merlot candle has been my favorite for sometime. I’m glad it is available now. The smell it exudes makes my home smell delicious and inviting. I recommend it to everyone.. I you can’t drink Merlot wine, you at least can enjoy the delicious smell of this candle.

Can you say yummy?

I use this candle under my warmer light, instead of lighting the wick. It still has a strong smell and lights up the entire room and down the hallways with it's aroma. It smells soooo good.
