Innocent Bystander

I can't remember where I bought this, but tonight I opened a 2005 Innocent Bystander Shiraz from Australia. 97% shiraz, 3% viognier. It is very good, not aussie like at all, very much in a rhone style. Smoked meat, good acid, red fruit, hint of garrigue. 16 pts. My notes say I paid $14 for it, I suspect I bought it at the Wine Club but not sure. Anyway, if you run across it I highly recommend it for that price!
