Mount Cole Wineworks, Shiraz 2004, Grampians ($22)

I won this bottle. Woo-hoo!!!! Any good? You bet. A shirz with some considerable individuality and is a far departure for the tyranny of Barossa style & alcohol levels shiraz. This was about as mineral and cool climate as you can get. Nicely balanced tannins across the whole palate. I loved this wine by itself, or with a soft cheese. The austerity of this stuff was a joy. At $22 a good buy, but won't please the easy drinking barbie crowd.
