Tasting - "Yellow Tail Cabernet Merlot"

Name - Yellow Tail Cabernet Merlot
Variety - Cabernet and Merlot Blend
Region - Australia
Country - Australia
Year - 2014
Price - $4.95

Wine Store Review - Vintage Cellar
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 - I smelled deep, dark fruit flavors like black currant, black cherry, blackberry and even a hint of strawberry and apricot. It tasted slightly oaky, tart and very heavy on the berry fruit flavor. I thought it had sort of a tobacco taste on the finish but it left a good taste in your mouth. Overall a very smooth finish. I did not try this wine with food.
