Penfolds - Kalimna Shiraz - 1998

An utterly enjoyable shiraz. Affordable. Is a blend from their various vineyards, but apparently predominantly from the Kalimna vineyard. When on a stocking-up trip recently, I saw there were a number of different blends, with a different dominant vineyard (Coonawara for example). I haven't tried a different blend yet. This blend was a flavorful smooth treat.
