Tasting- Yellow Tail Cabernet Merlot

Name: Yellow Tail Cabernet Merlot
Variety: 60% Cabernet, 40% Merlot
Region: Casella
Country: Australia
Year: 2014
Price: $10, Sale: $5
Vintage Cellar 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:  This was a nice Yellow Tail wine that reminded me of the Yellow Tail Cabernet Sauvignon. This was a dark red and smelled like a batch of raspberries. The alcohol could be detecte din the aroma and slightly in the flavor. The after taste had more cherry notes that finished with a bit of spice and tartness.

Food: This wine was tasted with no food due to tasting it at the Vintage Cellar.
