Winery Review: Vibrant cherry and raspberry flavors. Earth notes add complexity to the well balanced tannins in this lively Pinot Noir wine. Long flavorful finish.
Personal Review: On the nose, this wine smelled very acidic, tannic, dry, and of dark, bitter fruits. The wine tasted like sour plums and blackberries, and unripe cherries. It was very bitter and acidic. I hated this wine! This is the first Yellow Tail wine I have ever tried and it was an awful experience. I would definitely not recommend it to anyone. I also tried this wine with goat cheese and with block cheddar jack cheese and neither one of them seemed to open up the wine and make it fruitier. This wine was difficult to choke down and was a waste of $6.
