Tasting: Yellowtail Reserve Merlot

Wine: Yellowtail Reserve
Variety: Merlot
Region: South Eastern, Australia
Year: 2010
Price: Usually $12, on sale for $6.95

Critic 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: I will start off by saying I don't think my palate has adjusted to red wines yet. I was not a big fan of this wine. It smelled very fruity, and I was able to detect the cherry smell. When I tasted the wine, the cherry flavor was fairly pronounced, and I was also able to taste a coffee flavor. The taste of this wine lingered, and it filled your entire mouth.  

Overall, I did not particularly like this wine.
