The 2006 Grenache “Yesterday’s Hero” was aged in old American oak for 9 months. Medium ruby-colored, it has a fragrant perfume of black cherry and creme de cassis followed by a forward, full-bodied, ripe wine with a velvety texture. This pure expression has excellent depth and a long, fruit-filled finish. Drink it now and over the next 3 years. 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 Dan Philips’ Grateful Palate and R Wines portfolio.Importer: Terlato Wines International, Lake Bluff, IL; www.twohandswines.com; Also tasted: 2007 Riesling “The Wolf” (82)
