'Nother Jug O' Dingo Red?

A lot of people in this country pooh-pooh Australian table wines. This is a pity as I've just discovered that the Columbia Crest Merlot I've been drinking going on two years now tastes like carburetor cleaner next to this [yellow tail] Merlot from Australia.

Silky smooth and easy on the palate. This wine is a great “slurper” with juicy, ripe fruit flavors, complemented by aromas of dark plums and a touch of mint and soft vanillin oak.

Got a kick on it like a mule, too.
