[yellow tail] Pinot Noir (2012)



Winemaker's Description: "Flavors: strawberry, raspberries & dark cherry.  Enjoy: with pork tenderloins or just relaxing.  For 3 generations the Casella family has been making wine at their winery in the small town of Yenda, situated in South Eastern Australia.  It is here that [yellow tail] is created with a simple purpose in mind; to make great wine that everyone can enjoy.  [yellow tail] is everything a great wine should be.  It's approachable, fresh, flavorsome and has a personality all of its own."

Overall Impression
This is a very cheap Pinot Noir with good flavor.  Not the best, but good for a girl's night in! Not too heavy. I got this bottle for under $5, and I'd buy it again.

Color
Very dark burgundy with only a slight tinge of red.

ABV: 13.5%

Aroma
Fruit with hints of blackberry.

Flavor
Raspberries, black cherries, and maybe a hint of plum?  Very smooth with a slightly sweet / tart finish.
