Tasting - Yellowtail Reserve Merlot





Name: Yellowtail Reserve Merlot 
Variety: 100% Merlot 
Region: South Eastern  
Country: Australia 
Year: 2010
Price: Regular $12; Sale $6.95

Shop 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. Soft on the finish. Drink now."
-Vintage Cellar, Blacksburg 

My Review: Strong berry notes in the nose of this wine. Slightly dry, but with what might have been blackberry notes. As the Vintage Cellar said, the wine was soft on the finish and not overpowering, which made the wine more drinkable for me.

Tasted without food.
