Yellow Tail Merlot

[yellow tail] is a brand of Casella Wines, part of Casella Family Brands, based in Yenda, Australia. The brand writes its name in lowercase inside square brackets on the label.

It's labeled vegan friendly, it's 13.5% alcohol, and it comes in both 750ml and 1.5L bottles, so there's a size for a weeknight glass or a full table.

It's easygoing and smooth, with soft aromas of ripe plum, mulberry, vanilla and spice reminiscent of Christmas cake, and a soft, velvety palate with dark plum and subtle spice.

Against Josh Cellars Merlot, Yellow Tail costs less than half as much and also comes in a 1.5L bottle; for an everyday party pour, choose Yellow Tail.

Serve it slightly cool, around 60 to 65 °F. Pour it with antipasto, or use it in a Red Hot Chocolate cocktail. It's an easy match for pizza, burgers and pasta with red sauce.
