My review: In continuing
with my Yellow Tail trend, I saw this wine at the store and thought – why not?
This was definitely going to be something different for me - totally worth giving it a shot. I tried this wine
on a Saturday night with a few friends while catching up on Season 3 of Game of
Thrones. I was in a good mood and ready to try this wine. I was soon ready to
put down the wine after the first few sips and swirls. Like the Yellow Tail
Sweet Red Roo, this wine immediately dried my mouth out. My tongue felt like it
was shriveling up away from this wine. I could definitely taste blackberries
and could smell them too. It felt like an overpowering wine to me – too complex
and too big. It would definitely need to be paired with food – possibly steak
or chicken. I can’t say I was a fan of this wine, though – and I would not be
likely to drink it again
I tasted this on its own
with no food.
