Yellowtail Reserve Merlot 2010

Name: Yellowtail Reserve

Variety: Merlot

Country:  South Eastern, Australia

Year: 2010

Price: $12

Bottles Finished: 0 (Tasting Only)

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. Soft on the finish. Drink now.

My review: With a marketing ploy such as "Reserve," I was expecting a wine of higher quality that I would enjoy much more, but this Merlot was only slightly above average. An aromatic bouquet of blackberry and raspberry pastry tart. On the palate, smokey flavors of red currant and light red berries.

Rating:
Flush
