Tasting: Yellowtail Reserve Merlot



Name – Yellowtail Reserve Merlot
Variety - Merlot
Region – South Eastern
Country - Australia
Year - 2010
Price - $12, but it was on sale at the Vintage Cellar for $6.95. 

Wine Review – Round, velvety and mouthfilling, this is a satisfying Merlot at a bargain price.  Aromas of black cherries and herbs fold in hints of cinnamon and mocha, while the flavors are generally fruity, but with a slightly tomatoey note and soft on the finish.  Drink now.

Personal Review - The wine smelled and tasted of spices.  It was pretty complex, and I was not able to detect all of the flavors present.  It was very delicious though, and I would certainly have this again.  This was my second favorite wine of the day because it was complex and not dry. 

Food - I did not try this wine with food.
