Yellow Tail is an Australian producer that has taken the U.S. by storm. They cover most of the major varietals and their wines are widely available.
The 2006 Merlot is an easy wine to like – very smooth and no edges. The expected cherry flavors are on the ripe side, but still very pleasant and not cloying. The oak is quite restrained and adds a little mint and vanilla.
This wine is a very good to great value. The Wine Witch has found 1.5ml (double sized) bottles on sale for around $12 – hard to beat. A good contender for your house red.
