Tasting - Yellowtail Reserve

Name: Yellowtail Reserve
Variety: Merlot
Region:South Eastern
Country: Australia
Year: 2010
Price: $12.00

Vintage Cellar Review: 
Round, velvety and mouthfiling, this is a satisfying Merlot at a bargain price. Aromas of black cherries and herbs fold in hints of cinnamon and mocha, while the flavors are generally fruits, but with a slightly tomatoey note. Soft on the finish. Drink now.  

My Review: 
The color of this Merlot was a brown-red. In the aroma I sensed capers, which may be the tomatoey note the Vintage Cellar mentions above. I could clearly taste the cinnamon spice to the wine, and sensed that this wine would probably be good to pair with vegetables. 

I did not have any food while tasting this wine.
