"The [yellow tail] Reserve Merlot has a rich, fruity nose of ripe blackberry and dark chocolate aromas with underlying nuances of sweet oak. The palate boasts layers of black cherry, vanilla and mocha combining in a soft, velvety mouthfeel. This seamless and well structured wine had good texture and balanced tannins finishing with length and a touch of spice. "

- A rich color and deep hue introduces your nose to a ripe and rich flavour. Mint and leaf at the front of the nose is followed by soft plums and ripe almost Christmas cake fruit. The vanilla softness on the nose takes you into a ripe and full palate weight with a soft, sweet oak palate length on the finish.

- Yellow Tail Reserve Merlot has a rich, fruity nose of ripe blackberry and dark chocolate aromas with underlying nuances of sweet oak. The palate boasts layers of black cherry, vanilla and mocha combining in a soft, velvety mouthfeel. This seamless and well structured wine had good texture and balanced tannins finishing with length and a touch of spice. Drink now or cellar correctly and enjoy for up to four years. An excellent food wine. Enjoy with your favorite pasta sauces or try with full flavored offerings such as lamb shanks, stroganoff and classic roast beef.
