Tasting - Yellowtail Reserve Merlot 2010

Name: Yellowtail Reserve Merlot
Variety: 100% Merlot
Region: Southeastern
Country: Australia
Year: 2010
Price: $12 (Currently on sale at the Vintage Cellar for $6.95)

Winery Review: "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."

My Review: This wine portrayed a bouquet of wood, berries, and mocha. On the palate, this wine was very dry, but not acidic, and tasted of black cherries with a hint of chocolate. This wine was tasted on its own without food.
