Merlot viel op de KWPN Hengstenkeuring van meet af aan op met zijn charmante uitstraling, goede balans en actieve manier van bewegen. Ook bij het onderdeel longeren kwam Merlot goed uit de verf en benadrukte hij zijn bewegingskwaliteiten. Merlot werd door de hengstenkeuringscommissie uitverkozen tot één van de KWPN-premiehengsten en heeft vanaf dekseizoen 2020 een KWPN-deklicentie ontvangen.
Merlot viel van begin af aan op. Dit bevestigde hij in het verrichtingsonderzoek waar hij met een hoge score van 85,5 punten werd gehuldigd tot Kampioen. In de hengstencompetitie toont Merlot zijn kwaliteiten onder het zadel van Bart Veeze, hij loopt met veel lossigheid, een goed voorbeen- en achterbeengebruik, heeft een goede rijdbaarheid en een fantastische instelling. Volgens ruiter en trainer beschikt hij over alle mogelijkheden voor het hoogste werk.
