Coonawarra road trip: 2005 Mildara Cabernet Shiraz

A blend of cabernet and shiraz from the great 2005 vintage, this wine exceeded expectations. Listed for $25 at cellar-door, and I would have been happy to pay that

It was half price on a 12 bottle purchase, so I managed to get a dozen for $150. It was probably the best value case purchase ever encountered.

A $12.50 bottle of wine in any other circumstance would likely be horrible and industrial.

Price: $25, though $12.50 in a 12-pack purchase.

Rating: 93/100

Why you want this wine: You might not, but at half price for the 12-pack purchase, it may well be the best value wine you have ever bought.
