Been really diggin' this Penfold's Koonunga Hill Shiraz Cabernet recently...
Initially discovered this one about 2 years ago, but I find myself returning to it time and time again. Had to pick up a bottle this evening, think this is the first 2000 vintage that I've yet had... not bad, though it might need to mature a bit more, but nice, smooth, and warm the entire way. Yummy! 
And heck, for $11.99/bottle, it's a bargain IMO.
Now I really need to try their Bin 407 Cabernet Sauvignon, have read great things about that one in the past.<ul><li><a href="http://www.penfolds.com/TheRange/TastingNotes/KoonungaHillShirazCab.pdf">Koonunga Hill Shiraz Cabernet (Tasting Notes, PDF document)</a></li></ul>

I'm a huge Penfolds fan. Anything you want to know, just ask me.
You're right about the Bin 407. Others not to be missed are Bin 28 Shiraz, Bin 389 Cab Sauv/Shiraz, Bin 2 Cab/Grenache/Morvedre, and the sublime Bin 707 Cab.
Of course, the true pinnacle is Penfolds Grange. If you see it for $160 a bottle buy it. If you see it for less than $200 in a restaurant try it. We're talking the wine voted best in the world several times.

I must admit that I know nothing about wine, but I have been enjoying Shiraz wine...
on my Delta flights to Europe over the past 8 months. From the first glass, I knew it was a keeper. Now I just order it without even looking at the wine selection brochure.
