Comments:

The wine opens with very dark fruit flavors and mellows into a soft tannin finish that is very smooth. I also noticed the alcohol content seemed higher than most wines. This was confirmed on the label at 14%. Not a bad wine, but competition at this price point is high. The value ratio tells the story.

From the Label:

The Yellow Tail 'Reserve' Shiraz has intense concentrated fruit flavors with aromas of ripe cherries, blackberries, chocolate, and mocha. Delving deeper into this complex wine, cracked pepper and spice fragrance are apparent with sweet French oak aromas always present. The vanilla softness on the nose takes you into a full palate crammed with ripe fruits reminiscent of a basket of sweet summer berries. Seamless and well structured tannins complete this full bodied red wine.

Yellow Tail by Caselle Wines offers you a range of quality Australian wines for your enjoyment.
