What reviewers say
“I have rated the last few years vintages of this Yellow Tail Australian Shiraz and it still remains a very good wine with red fruit and black fruit flavours of plum, cherry and blackberry with hints of oaky chocolate and vanilla.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Shiraz is created with a simple philosophy in mind - to make a great wine that everyone can enjoy anytime in any place. Enjoy this wine with a bunch of friends and a hearty BBQ steak.
Yellow Tail Shiraz is an Australian red from South Eastern Australia. The grape is Shiraz Syrah. At $11.99 for the lowest 750 ml listing, it belongs to the under $15 band.
516 other reds from Australia form the cohort it is ranked inside. The calibrated figure is built from 13,259 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 13,891 reviewers with two or more ratings feeds the raw-average track instead.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.
- Global percentile
- Where Yellow Tail Shiraz lands against every wine we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — wines of the same type from the same country. A Chilean red is judged against Chilean reds, not against Champagne. Ranked against Red · Australia (517 wines).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 13,259.
