The medium gold-colored 2007 Cane Cut Semillon For Love or Money was aged in 100% new French oak. It reveals an intense perfume of apricot, tangerine zest, and ripe peach. Forward, sweet, and tangy, it goes down easily. It may well evolve for several years but there is no reason to delay one’s gratification.
Two Hands is a negociant operation run impeccably by Michael Twelftree. It reflects the best that can be sourced from all over South Australia. The packaging provides some serious design competition to the Dan Philips R Wine portfolio. The Garden Series is Shiraz sourced from a wide range of South Australia vineyards and line-priced at $60.
