    Innocent Bystander 2002 Sangiovese Merlot Red (South Eastern Australia)

    This 49% Sangiovese, 46% Merlot, 5% Cab smells of fresh black and red grapes. It tastes pretty darned good, proof to any naysayers that experimenting with unusual blends is working well in Oz. Plum and blackberry fruit dominate on the full, round palate, with oak riding in the backseat. 300 cases produced. Imported by Old Bridge Cellars.
