The Yellow Tail cuvees I tasted are surprisingly good for wines made in such enormous quantities. A new Reserve line (priced at $12) is just being released. The 2002 Chardonnay The Reserve is marginally better than the standard cuvee. Made in a similar style, it is a soft, fleshy, fruity (tropical), medium-bodied effort revealing a hint of residual sugar. It is no surprise to me that consumers are intelligent, and should never be under-estimated. Since there are no remaining stocks of the 2001s, I did not have an opportunity to see how they age, but these 2002s all have merit. In some wine circles it is fashionable to criticize wines of this genre, but, if the truth be known, these are surprisingly well-made offerings.All of these wines are intelligently packaged with designer labels and synthetic corks.The importer for Yellow Tail is William Deutsch and Sons, White Plains, NY; tel.
