Tasting- Yellow Tail Cabernet Merlot


Name: Yellow Tail Cabernet Merlot
Variety: Cabernet Merlot
Region: Australia
Country: Australia
Year: 2014
Price: $10

Winery Review: A classic blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Medium-bodied and very approachable with soft tannins. Fruit-forward flavors of plum, cherry and blackberry are accented by notes of spice with more juicy berries on the finish.

My Review: There was a butterscotch/vanilla smell to this wine, which surprised me. There was definitely a presence of tannins and this was not a very smooth feeling wine. The flavor really hit the back of the tongue and had a deep berry finish. I did not try this wine with food.
