Community Tasting Notes (average 90.6 pts. and median of 91 pts. in 8 notes) - hiding notes with no text

 Tasted by cbeye on 12/2/2023: Continues to drink well but only on the first night. Soft tannins and muted fruit but very good mouth feel (268 views)
 Tasted by Duras on 3/7/2009 & rated 92 points: Rich, smooth wine with velvety tannins, still plenty of fruit and varietally and regionally true. Delicious and probably at its peak now but will not fade soon. (4181 views)
 Tasted by Duras on 6/4/2007 & rated 91 points: A really luscious smooth shiraz, drinking beautifully right now but will go a few more years. (4684 views)
 Tasted by TaitaJidou on 5/5/2007 & rated 91 points: A truly excellent wine. Served with lamb chops: lots of depth, flavor, fruit. Just excellent. (3420 views)
 Tasted by Not Levine on 4/23/2005 & rated 89 points: In an effort to deplete some of my stock of Aussies, which is very large, I pulled this out when some friends came over after a play (which was even better than the wine). Really strong blueberry and ginger notes, and a smooth, velvety mouthfeel. Yes, it's fairly monolithic, but it's a darned nice example of Aussie Shiraz that's in no danger of falling apart anytime soon. Yum! 89+ (5370 views)

Two Hands

Producer website

U.S. Importer (Addt'l Info)

The 'Two Hands' are Michael Twelftree and Richard Mintz who formed the company in 1999 with the clear objective of making the best possible Shiraz-based wines from prized Shiraz producing regions within Australia. In 2000 they started with just 17 tonnes of fruit from the McLaren Vale and Padthaway wine regions, and the heart of the operation is based in the Barossa Valley. Since the winery opened, Two Hands sucess has gone from strength to strength with numerous accolades defining the culture of the organization. Two Hands Wines were listed in the Wine Spectator Top 100 for the last five years with two listings in the top 10, and the Ares was voted one of the 25 Benchmark Wines of Australia.
