I imagine everyone is aware of the Yellow Tail wines floating around that hit the market with a real bang a few years back. They started in Canada by selling a chardonnay and a shiraz. Both were good for their price. Both were kind of sweet which is likely how they sold so well. Both had somewhat sharp finishes that was masked by the sweetness.
Now, in a local wine shop, i came across the Yellow Tail chardonnay Reserve. Two weekends ago we had a blind tasting.
I picked out the Reserve quite easily, but the differences between the two were subtle. The Reserve was much more refined, but all that aside, if you want to try a really fat bastard chardonnay, try this Yellow Tail Reserve.
Its bouquet alone is just huge.
