Two Hands Angels Share Shiraz
|
Our Price: $29.99
|
|
|
The 2006 Shiraz Angels Share has an expressive perfume of cedar, wood smoke, leather, pencil lead, pepper, and blueberry muffin. Velvety-textured and ripe, it has outstanding depth and length and a harmonious personality. Drink it over the next 6-8 years. Two Hands is a negociant operation run impeccably by Michael Twelftree. It reflects the best that can be sourced from all over South Australia

Two Hands Bad Impersonator Shiraz

The charm of this wine is in the fact that it is not typical of Barossa Shiraz at all, in fact it is the moodiest but probably one of the most interesting wines that Two Hands makes. The fruit comes from a single vineyard of mature vines on deep red sand at the top of Kalimna Road near Angaston in the Barossa Valley.
Deep purple black in color to the core. Lifted notes of charcoal and dark cherry emerge from the glass, followed by some excellent spice and dark plum, complex and interesting. The palate starts out focused with great definition and weight. Pronounced flavors of warm chocolate cake, licorice and blackcurrant explode over the palate. The highlight of this wine is once again the very seamless tannins. This wine has great balance and will reward with extended cellaring.

Two Hands Lily's Garden Shiraz
|
|
Our Price: $58.99

|
|
Color: Dense, dark purple plum.
Aroma: Gloriously generous fruit with subtle complimentary overtones of vanilla spice; enhancing, rather than dominating, the wonderful spicy plum fruit of this wine.
Taste: Rich juicy fruit. Delicious and distinctive mocha, chocolate and sweet plum characters. Backed by a lush, plush mouthfeel laced with an underlying black pepper spice and a silky tight tannin structure.

Bright ruby. Spicy red and dark berry aromas complicated by cured tobacco, cedar and dark chocolate. Firm and juicy, with vibrant red fruit flavors and a zesty cracked pepper quality. The spice notes build through the long, energetic finish, which features repeating red berry and pepper elements. I really like the vivacity here. 92 points - ST

"Bright and jazzy, with lively raspberry and cherry fruit, lifted with juicy acidity that lets the fruit and cream notes mingle nicely on the extended finish. Drink now through 2013."

Bright purple. Energetic cherry and blueberry aromas display an exotic hint of licorice. Taut, youthfully bright red and dark berries on the palate, with a nervy mineral lift to the finish. I preferred this to the creamy but jammier '06 shiraz. Finishes with lipsmacking berry skin flavors and very good length.

"This has always been a favorite "mid-priced" Auzy Shiraz of mine. Always big and rich with great thick fruit and hints of dark chocolate. In fact one of my favorite foods to pair with this wine is dark chocolate. Dessert anyone?"-Mitch Ancona
91 Points - Wine Spectator
"Supple aussie red, with ripe plum and currant fruit against a range of sweet spices and fine tannins,lingering gently and expressively"~(WS)
87 Points - Wine Advocate
"The 2006 Shiraz “Shotfire” is purple/black-colored. It has an attractive bouquet of tar, licorice, blackberry, and blueberry. This leads to a structured wine with layered flavors and good depth. Give it 3-4 years to soften and drink it through 2020."-(WA)

"The 2003 Shiraz/Viognier Reserve reveals a thick ruby/purple color in addition to a floral, exotic nose of litchi nuts interwoven with blackberry and currant fruit. Medium to full-bodied, elegant, and silky textured, it should drink well for 5-7 years."

Three-and-a-half stars from the San Francisco Chronicle: "Complex aromas and flavors of eucalyptus, chocolate, butterscotch, tar and tobacco evolve from the glass, which underscore the palate’s spice and concentrated, succulent fruit. The deliciously balanced finish goes on and on. This 2006 Shiraz walks the tightrope between finesse and concentration. It has a stylish perfume of lemon pith (unusual for Shiraz), lipstick, raspberries and juniper. The aromas are vibrant and explosive. The palate is concentrated and seductively lush with black fruits, spicy dark chocolate, hints of vanilla bean and soft, grainy tannins.
