Well beyond its prime--drinkable but barely --68 (2910 views) | | | Tasted by Grenik on 3/5/2009 & rated 79 points: "Impotent". I had the wine without food and it was not that enjoyable. The fruit is too overpowering. The price is good, but there are others at similar prices that are much better. (3831 views) | | | Tasted by chatters on 3/8/2008: araoms of cherry and vanilla, tastes of these and licorice and a bit dusty. (2417 views) | | | Tasted by messiahmoose on 1/28/2007 & rated 74 points: This wine tries to have more body than it can muster up. Decent for the price but that's about it. (4597 views) | | | Tasted by markwriter on 1/23/2007 & rated 84 points: So so. Generic red wine flavor. Had a bottle a couple weeks ago which was really good, but this one is only average. (4033 views) | | | Tasted by markwriter on 12/29/2006 & rated 88 points: Fun. This is what merlot is all about. Had with Rosatti's pizza, and really enjoyed it. Not as complex and earthy as other wines, but definitely enjoyable. Will buy this again. (2588 views) | | | Tasted by skiffman on 12/23/2006 & rated 88 points: This is one of the first bottled wines we tried years ago and remains one of our favorites to this day. Lots of fruit and mellow tannins, not much of a finish, but you can't have it all!! (2569 views) |
| Yellow Tail Producer websiteMerlotMerlot is a dark blue–colored wine grape variety, that is used as both a blending grape and for varietal wines. The name Merlot is thought to be a diminutive of merle, the French name for the blackbird, probably a reference to the color of the grape. Its softness and "fleshiness", combined with its earlier ripening, makes Merlot a popular grape for blending with the sterner, later-ripening Cabernet Sauvignon, which tends to be higher in tannin.Australia Wine Australia (Australian Wine and Brandy Corporation) | Australian Wines (Wikipedia)South EasternRiverina
