Yes it's a beautiful wine storage unit.Yellowtail has relatively high alcohol so it's shelf life will exceed 4 years.Your problem is the temperature,too warm.You should strive for a constant of 55 degrees,and no higher than 60.
As an aside,if you like the Yellowtail,try the Reserve,for about $11.50 it's big fruit and robust.

I would have to cool the room. And to get it down under 60 degrees, I would essentially be making a walk in wine cooler.
I think I'll drink it before it goes bad and buy only new stuff in bulk.
I am just surprised that the red wine would go bad that quickly. A lot of restaurants (expensive one too, store there wine in a lot higher temps than I do and their turnover may not be that high on the upper end.
