Tasting-Sweet Roo Red

Yellow Tail: Sweet Red Roo

Variety: 80% Shiraz, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and a mixed blend of other red varietals.
Region: South Eastern Australia, Casella Winery
Country: Australia
Year: Non-Vintage
Price: $6.00

Winemaker's Notes:  "Made in Australia from a blend of Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, and other red varietals, Yellow Tail 'Sweet Red Roo' is full of fruit flavors with aromas of naturally sweet red berries, vanilla and chocolate in each sip. Sweet Red Roo is delicious served chilled or room temperature and is ideal for wine cocktails. Whether pairing it with BBQ or mixing it in Sangria, Sweet Red Roo's versatility and uniqueness will make it the most talked about sweet wine blend this year."

My review: This is a very smooth, sweet wine. However, it is not overly sweet because it has a slight acidity to it at the finish. It is one of the better cheap reds I've tasted and I would highly recommend it for those on a budget!

I tasted this on its own with no food.
