Tasting - Yellowtail Reserve Merlot

Name: Yellowtail Reserve 
Variety: Merlot 
Region:Southeastern 
Country: Australia 
Year: 2010 
Price: $12 sale $6.95 
Shop/wine critic/winery review: 
Round, velvety and mouthfilling, this is a satisfying Merlot at a bargain price. Aromas of black cherries and herbs fold in hints of cinnamon and mocha, while the flavors are generally fruity, but with a slightly tomatoey note. Soft on the finish. Drink now. 
Your Review:
I, like, a lot of other tasters, was a bit hesitant to try this.  I've had Yellowtail before, and it was just ok.  This did have a bit of cherry on the nose, and a light feeling on the mouth.  Almost watery.  It was better than other Yellowtails, but nothing life changing. 
I did not try this with food.
