Where Bought: Otto's Brown Deer
Comments: Sat. Sep 27th 2014 - Continues to be a good value for the price.
Comments: (Sat. Aug. 9th 2014) Continues to be a very consistent wine. This Shiraz label had the year 2013 in the upper left corner. I noticed that sometimes they display a year, sometimes they don't.
Comments: Yellow Tail creates so many pleasing tastes, its hard to remember which one we liked the best. All I can say, is that they are consistently some very surprising great tasting wines. For the price, its hard to beat. You must try it yourself to believe it.
Sat. Mar. 24th 2012 - I have updated the rating to would definitely buy again. Its one of those very pleasing wines and always a consistent enjoyable wine.

Update (Sat. Mar 2nd 2013) - A much better buy at Otto's. The wine remains consistently great tasting. As I said before, its amazing for the price!

Update (Sat. Oct 26th 2013) - Continues to be very consistent. Evan after chilling, it retains it full bodied flavor. It's just an amazing wine! I also upped the rating. It definitely deserves to be on our buy list!

Type: Shiraz
Year: 2006
Price: 7.99
Rating: 4 - Would buy it again
Where Bought: Otto's, Brown Deer
Comments: As per Coppola's wines, it has a nice flavor. Surprisingly, since I guess I wouldn't have thought that a film maker would also produce such a nice drinkable wine. Would definitely buy again. To view other wines that I have tried see Coppola's Rosso, or one of my favorites of his, Coppola's Diamond Collection.
