Tasting - Yellow Tail Reserve

Name: Yellow Tail Reserve
Variety: Merlot
Country: Australia
Year: NV
Price: $9.00


Tasting Notes: 
Rich, fruity nose of ripe blackberry and dark chocolate aromas with underlying nuances of sweet oak. The palate boasts layers of black cherry, vanilla and mocha combining in a soft, velvety mouth-feel. Good texture, balanced tannins and a hint of spice make for a long finish.


My review: Fantastic price point!  For a $9.00 wine there was a lot going on I thought.  This Yellow Tail smelled exactly like a blackberry vanilla milkshake, which made me want to go out and buy one!  It finished nicely; sweet and slightly watery.  Fruity, light, and pleasant overall.  I kept getting subtle hints of what I thought to be Hershey's chocolate kisses too.

I had this wine without food.
