Name: Yellow Tail Reserve
Variety: 100% Merlot
Region: South Eastern
Country: Australia
Price: $6.95
Year: 2010
Vibrant colour; presumably bottled for the Australian market with its screwcap closure, and is a very pleasant merlot given its price; here it is cassis and cherry fruit, not sweetness, that drives the wine; tannins and oak are only just there, but that doesn't matter in the context of the drink now style.

My Review:
The guy at the Vintage Cellar explained that Yellow Tail makes a reserve that they consider their high end of yellow tail. Surprisingly enough, this red wine was pretty good, but I probably wouldn't drink it again. The wine had a very dry finish and had a pretty acidic finish. The flavor was a very bold cherry and berry flavor, but I felt as though the acidic finish took away from the fruity flavor.
I did not pair this wine with food.
