Yellowtail Reserve Merlot 2010
Merlot
South Eastern, Australia
2010
$6.95
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.
I was surprised that the Vintage Cellar was serving Yellowtail as a part of the tasting (or that they're even selling it...). As the employee running the testing put it, it's a wine that you see at every 7-11, but apparently a wine rep got them to admit this is actually a solid wine in a blind tasting, so they bought it! It has a very dark, rich flavor to it. I tasted a bit of chocolate and definitely picked up on a lot of the cinnamon. I didn't get to pair it with any food, but I imagine it would work with lots of dinner options.
