Howard Park, Margaret River (Western Australia, Australia) Shiraz Leston Vineyard 2005

($27, Bluewater Wine Company): A more restrained style of Shiraz than the norm, this one from the Margaret River area marries herbal–even slightly minty–elements with plum-like flavors.  It delivers an alluring breadth of flavors over pure power. 90 Michael Apstein Jul 15, 2008
