Tasting - Yellow Tail Merlot

 Label:    Me: 

1) The Wine: Yellow Tail Merlot is crafted by the Casella Family in Australia with the Merlot grape. This bottle has a vintage year of 2023 and costs $6.99.

2) Critic Review: Jon Rogers from "Honest Wine Reviews" doesn't claim the wine to be fantastic, but recommends a glass if you plan to sip it alone (Review)

3) Wine Folly: Page 131 of Wine Folly claims Merlot to be on the lower level of all 5 sections of the whine wheel. I definitely noticed its sweetness and lack of body, as well as its notes of chocolate and cherry.

4) My Review: For a cheap bottle of wine, Yellow Tail Merlot is about what you'll get for the price you pay. It tastes like a smooth chocolate fountain and goes down like water. It has notes of cherry and a subtle spice on the back and of a sip. I didn't have the wine with any food, but I'm sure it would go well with some ribs and mashed potatoes. I don't recommend this wine unless you're looking for a cheap merlot just to sip on.
