Points Mean... Parker

Once again Robert Parker has awarded Two Hands a fistful of points and glowing reviews in the Wine Advocate.

When Robert Parker writes of “considerable intensity” you can be assured of an impressive glass of wine. And this was about the 2005 Angel’s Share McLaren Vale Shiraz, one of Two Hands lower priced, “Picture Series” wines.

Gnarly Dudes 2004, the Barossa Shiraz counterpart to Angel’s Share, is described as “beautiful” and similarly the Bad Impersonator 2004 is “wonderfully elegant.”

Moving up a level the “Garden Series” wines, Two Hands’ expressions of Shiraz from different regions of South Australia (and Heathcote in Victoria) are all, he writes, “unhesitatingly recommended.”
