Shop Review:
Yellow Tail Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon embodies the essence of all great Australian reds. Aromas of ripe black cherries, mint and oak reward the senses while velvety smooth tannins provide excellent structure and length to this complex, elegant wine.

My Review:
Sam asked one of the wine specialists at  the Vintage Cellar for a good Cabernet Sauvignon because she had it all the time in Europe and wanted to find cheap options. He told us that yellow tail, yet not a great bottle of wine, if you can find the reserve is pretty decent. I found this wine to smooth and tastefully oaked. The taste was a little strong but tasty. I have found myself to enjoy Australian wines, especially over South American wines.
