Winery Review:
Yellow tail is everything a great wine should be. It's approachable, fresh, flavorsome, and has a personality all of its own. Flavors: Ripe plums with a warm touch of spice. Enjoy with antipasto, good times, and great friends. My Review:
BRING ME A LAMB PITA. Black-red in color, the first thing that comes to mind when sniffing this wine is Kalamatra Olives. I happen to be a huge fan of greek food/olives, so this wine seems promising. The balsamic-y, olive flavor carries over to the mid palate, where it meets some dark berry flavors towards the end palate. I could imagine pairing this wine with some greek flared food, to perhaps bring out the fruitier notes. Dare I say, not bad for a "mass produced" wine? I can see why this Australian Wine has such a wide appeal across the pond. I would classify this wine as the more acidic, spicier of the Merlots, but honestly one of my favorites so far. Definitely a surprise, but I would absolutely love to try and cook with this wine.
