Tasting - Yellow Tail Shiraz

Wine Review: "Yellow Tail is everything a great wine should be.  It's approachable, fresh, flavorsome and has a personality all of its own". - (Quote taken directly from label)

My Review: I am not a huge fan of red wines in general, but this one was okay for me.  I could taste flavors of berries and cherry.  It was smooth and dry but I detected a but of spice in the finish.  Overall not a bad wine for the price.
