More alcohol in the nose than fruit. (2340 views) | | | Tasted by cmcclane on 6/5/2012 & rated 70 points: Sugar water with no complexity or balance.

Fairly smooth, somewhat round without the mustiness I get with most lower priced Merlot. (2952 views) | | | Tasted by LEXKYWINE on 3/13/2012 & rated 80 points: drinkable. fruit forward, no complexity no structure, what I would expect for $8 (3635 views) | | | Tasted by julieandsheil on 11/24/2011 & rated 77 points: Decanted for two hours. Immediate dark cherry notes with a hint of strawberry. Medium tannins. Light but very uninspiring. Drinkable, but there are likely better Merlots in this price range.

| 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
