Yellowtail Shiraz:
A wine made for the North American palate.
It has added sugars because North Americans prefer sweet flavors.
It is made from huge over producing grapes that lack structure; therefore tannins are added to balance the wine.
It is oxygenated to produce mature qualities in a cheap young wine.
It is basically a wine that has been created in a laboratory to sell to North Americans. Many Australian wineries, seeing the success of Casella Estate, are following suit.
There are so many other great inexpensive wines that are true expressions of the grape.
