Smile Looking for good blended "smooth" taste wine

I am looking for a good blended red wine with smooth taste, (which means you wont taste the rough taste after you completely drink down the red wine), can anyone suggest something like this? Price preferrably under $500.00. Thanks.

Ok here goes,

- Majella "the malleea" Cabernet Shiraz, this one i thought possibly being its a coonawarra drop and the same blend as your favourite red the Penfolds Bin 389. (96,98)*

Others that may be worth noting,

- Charles Melton Wines "nine popes" Shiraz Grenache Mourvedre
(96,98,99)*
- Houghton "jack mann" Cabernet Malbec Shiraz (95,98)*
- Lindemans Limestone Ridge Vineyard Shiraz Cabernet
(96,98)*
- Wendouree Cabernet Malbec (98)*

* Vintages if you can get a hold of that should have developed beautifully by now but more recent vintages all the same would be worth a go, at the end of the day it all comes down to personal preference but if you never try something you may never know how good or for that matter bad some things may be!

Must have been something special, something like that must be aged , quite aged, i would imagine or have a very popular following like penfolds grange maybe. Possibly an international wine, something from bordeaux, france possibly. A winemaker i know has contacts in that part of the world so i shall ask him if he can think of something that might fit the bill. WineZone will expand into international wines soon as my knowledge of them is only limited so i cant really give you any specific brands that may be worth looking into sorry. Will endevour to change this though

Wink If I show you a really good trick

A man walks into a bar and asks the bartender, "If I show you a really good trick, will you give me a free drink?" The bartender considers it, then agrees. The man reaches into his pocket and pulls out a tiny rat. He reaches into his other pocket and pulls out a tiny piano. The rat stretches, cracks his knuckles, and proceeds to play the blues.UGG Bailey Button BootsCheap UGG Bailey Button BootsUGG Bailey Button Boots SaleAfter the man finished his drink, he asked the bartender, "If I show you an even better trick, will you give me free drinks for the rest of the evening?" The bartender agrees, thinking that no trick could possibly be better than the first. The man reaches into his pocket and pulls out a tiny rat. He reaches into his other pocket and pulls out a tiny piano. The rat stretches, cracks his knuckles, and proceeds to play the blues. The man reaches into another pocket and pulls out a small bullfrog, who begins to sing along with the rat's music.
