Tasting - Yellow Tail Cabernet Sauvignon



Name:  Yellow Tail 
Variety: Cabernet Merlot
Region:  South Eastern
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:  This one was a hit for me!  I LOVE Merlot, to me it's an easy drinking wine.  This was a very berry-inspired wine, as noted in the Vintage Cellar notes.  I picked up on the plum flavor, but I also picked up raisin and chocolate.  It tasted very rich too.   I did not taste this with food.
