Mason Wines Shiraz 2008

A 2008 sitting on the shelf for $19? I was intrigued. So off to the counter I went. Soon after I ripped the top off it at dinner. Boom! This blew us away.
I was dining with four other wine industry folk and when discussing the wine I asked my well travelled and knowledgeable friend how much she would pay for it. Without hesitation she said $40-50. 'nuff said!

Coming from Ballandean on Queensland's Granite Belt, smoked hock, black fruit and some pepperyness kick things off. The palate is soft and polished with well weighted and balanced fruit. Delicious spice added another dimension. Tremendous length and need I scream, "Value!!"

Whether some stock of this remains at the winery or elsewhere is yet to be determined, but if you can get you hands on it, do it!
