Tasting - Yellow Tail - Cabernet Merlot

Name: Yellow Tail

Variety: Cabernet Merlot

Country: Australia

Year: 2014

Price: $4.95
Winery Review:  A classic blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Medium-bodied and very approachable with soft tannins. Fruit-forward flavors of plum, cherry and blackberry are accented by notes of spice with more juicy berries on the finish.
My Review:  To me this sample had a strong smell of either grapes or something along the line of blackberry's.  The taste was slightly bitter and I detected a slight spicy aftertaste.  The more I tasted this wine the more pronounced the flavors became and I could feel the taste building in my mouth with each sip.
