Vintage Wine Cellar Tasting - Yellowtail Reserve Merlot

Name: Yellowtail Reserve
Variety: Merlot
Region: South Eastern
Country: Australia
Year: 2010
Price: $12 normally.  $6.95 on sale. 

Vintage Cellar 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. 
 
Macy's Review: As mentioned in a previous blog, merlot is one of the only wines before this class that I enjoy drinking.  My favorites are Bogle and Radius.  This wine, however, was not my style for merlot. It was too peppery and oaky.  I would never purchase this wine.  I do not recommend.  You can find a better merlot for a cheaper price.
