| Name: Yellow Tail Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon Country: Australia Region: Yenda Vintage: 2021 Price: $10.99 |
Winery Review: It's a nice, little acidic wine. Was better than what I thought. Has a little pineapple on the nose, citrus too. Once I tasted it I found it a little oaky, citrus, honey. - Review is done in Vivino by Monica Sanchez.
Wine Folly: The textbook states that Cabernet Sauvignon is the most popular grape variety and consists of a wine that is high in tannins and rich in flavor. Since this cabernet is from Australia the textbook states that I should be picking up on the following characteristics: black plum, white pepper, currant candy, chocolate, and bay leaf (pg 159).
My Review: The first smell test give me some strong aromas of the plum characteristics mentioned in the textbook. It has this real jammy feeling to it and I was also able to pick up on some kind of hidden chocolate undertones. The first taste test give me some pretty complex tannins present in the wine, my mouth was pretty much watering after just a sip, and it has a really nice body to it. The finish was medium and not as velvety as the wine description says it is, but overall a good wine. I did not enjoy any food with this wine but if I were to it would be a nice lamb chop to enjoy those rich flavors together.
