Penfold's Koonunga Hill 2007 Shiraz Cabernet

I wanted to try an Australian Syrah, and found this at Ralph's for something like $8 and a rating of 91 (though I don't recall who issued the rating). It's good. The Cab in the blend makes it dry and allows it to stand up to more flavorful foods than the Syrah alone could. There may be more to this wine than I'm picking up on, not sure. The blend is throwing me off slightly, but in any case this is a good bottle and I've been enjoying it glass by glass with all sorts of dinners (pasta, tuna, shrimp).
