Yellow Tail Cabernet Merlot (1.5L, 13.5%)

Yellow Tail Cabernet Merlot is a fruit-forward Australian red wine blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, bottled at 13.5% ABV in a 1500ml magnum. It is produced by Casella Wines, founded by the Casella family in the Riverina region of New South Wales. Nearly a third of the grapes used in the Yellow Tail range are estate-grown across roughly 540 acres of Casella family vineyards, with additional fruit sourced from growing areas throughout South Eastern Australia. For this blend, grapes are crushed and de-stemmed, then fermented on skins in contact with oak under temperature-controlled conditions. The aroma leads with ripe blackberry, black currant and subtle minty undertones, with gentle oak spice. The palate is juicy with blackberry and ripe plum, dark spice, oaky tones and moderate tannins. The finish is medium in length with soft tannins and lingering dark berry sweetness.
