Yellowtail Wines

For my first post about wine I am going to cover a couple varieties of Yellowtail. Yellowtail is a fairly cheap Australian brand that produces most major types of red and white wine including some red blends. One of my favorites, their Cabernet Sauvignon displays the textbook flavors of a Cabernet with strong notes of blackberry, plumb and cherry and hints of chocolate and vanilla. Its flavor doesn't linger very long, but what can you expect from a cheaper, 2 year old wine. Yellowtail Cabernet is my go to wine for everyday occasions, a great value and good taste. 

They also make a Cabernet and Shiraz blend that is equally as tasty as the Cabernet. The addition of the shiraz adds a earthy cherry-like taste to the Cabernet flavors and the wine as a whole can even be described as somewhat peppery. Another great value.

Yellowtail wines run the gamut from their light, sweet Reisling to spicy, deep tastes of their shiraz. Although many would look down upon a mass produced wine, you really cant beat the price and this is a solid everyday wine.
