Yellow Tail Cabernet Merlot


Name: Yellow Tail Cabernet Merlot
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon / Merlot blend
Region: Australia
Country: Australia
Year: 2014
Price: $10, on sale for $4.95
Shop/Critic/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 Impressions:
This wine was surprisingly non-fragrant.  Maybe my nose is acting up.  It was almost like smelling water.  I tasted black fruit instantly - currant? Plum?  The taste continues into the finish, which was lasting and full of fruit flavors.  I'd not had a Cab/Merlot blend before, but this was a pleasant experience.
