TWO HANDS 'LILY'S GARDEN' SHIRAZ 2017, McLaren Vale

"Deep crimson, red with a bright and vibrant core. Vibrant notes of blueberry pie and short crust pastry, vanilla, white chocolate, white pepper, and dried flowers. Blue fruited accents, with blueberry and plum reduction. Quite high toned and vibrant, yet the palate is broad and loose knit, providing a soft and cuddly fruit expression. Tannins start early and are also loose knit making the wine quite accessible in its youth. Oak is well woven in the wine providing notes of pie crust, vanilla bean and white chocolate." - Winemaker "More reserved but no less brilliant, the 2017 Shiraz Lily's Garden comes from the McLaren Vale and spent 18 months in just 9% new French oak. Classic Syrah notes of dark black fruits, damp herbs, scorched earth, and obvious minerality give way to a medium to full-bodied beauty that is flawlessly balanced, textured, and seamless. It’s up with the finest vintages I’ve tasted of this cuvée and will keep for upwards of a decade." - 96pts Jeb Dunnuck
