Two Hands Angels Share 2004 Shiraz

Get it while you can. At less than $30, with the scores this wine is getting it won't be around for very long.

Robert Parker says: "The 2004 Shiraz Angel’s Share is a hedonistic effort. A deep ruby/purple color is accompanied by a fruit-filled wine with a gorgeously complex nose of lead pencil shavings, charcoal, blackberries, and cassis. Medium to full-bodied, with admirable purity, balance, and the tell-tale opulence and voluptuous texture this estate’s wines all seem to possess, it should be enjoyed over the next 7-8 years.

This brilliant operation is a credit to the meticulous winemaking of Michael Twelftree and his staff!" 95 Points

The Dabbler says: I have been saving this for a special occasion, but I haven't had a Two Hands wine that hasn't been excellent, and I can't wait to open up this particular screw cap. Points TBD.

Find it in New York at Varietal Wines and Spirits, and in California at the Woodland Hills Wine Company.
