By Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 92
The 2016 Bella's Garden Shiraz, from the winery's "home turf" in the Barossa Valley, features luscious aromas of mixed berries, vanilla and just enough meaty notes to keep the wine from being overly fruit-driven. Instead, it's savory and complex, with cedar framing the ample fruit, and it has fine-grained, silky tannins and a long, crisp finish. Nicely done.
Wine Spectator 93
Complex, opening with a distinctive floral note of dried lavender that adds an aromatic lift to the polished blackberry, cherry and black pepper flavors. Dark, dense and concentrated at the core. Details of spice, vanilla and clove mingle on the finish. Drink now through 2028. 5,500 cases made, 1,000 cases imported.
Jeb Dunnuck 94
A wine that always seems to deliver, the 2016 Shiraz Bella's Garden comes from the Barossa Valley and saw a touch of whole clusters and 18 months in roughly 20% new French oak. Blueberries, black raspberries, vanilla bean, spice, and toasted bread notes all flow to a full-bodied, ripe, opulent Shiraz that has sweet tannin, a balanced, clean profile, and a great finish. It’s a knockout bottle of wine to enjoy over the coming 5-7 years.
《Two Hands Wines》
澳洲的傳奇「百大之星」雙手酒莊 Two Hands Wines,Two Hands酒莊成立於1999年,是非常年輕的一間酒莊,卻鮮少像酒莊能像這間酒莊一樣在極短的時間受到全球的注目。Robert Parker曾表示:Two Hands酒莊是南半球最好的酒莊,而自2003年開始,Two Hands酒莊便沒有一年在Wine Spectator雜誌的年度百大酒莊中缺席,紀錄長達10年,這樣的紀錄也是全世界唯一一個。當然澳洲首席酒評James Halliday也是給予Two Hands肯定與讚譽。 設立於南澳大利亞的Two Hands酒莊,酒標設計非常地直接,即是以兩位酒莊主人Michael Twelftree 和 Richard Mintz的手掌做為象徵,以Two Hands為名也代表著兩人的合作無間。兩人秉持著對於「不妥協的品質」的堅持,期許以澳洲的代表品種Shiraz創作最好的葡萄酒,當2000年首度推出實驗性質的作品後,便立即引起全球鑑賞家的注目。這是Bella’s Garden系列是完全來自Barossa Valley的Shiraz,40% 法國新桶,熟成18個月,此酒戰功彪炳,獲WS年終十大如探囊取物。
