Two Hands Bella's Garden Shiraz 2007 Imperial 6L, Barossa Valley
The 2007 Bella's Garden Shiraz was ranked number 14 in the top 100 wines from Wine Spectator in 2009, despite being one of the tougher vintages for Two Hands Wines. Although this wine may not have the cellaring potential of previous vintages the 2007 Bella's Garden will provide drinking pleasure until 2027.
James Halliday's Wine Companion - 93 pts - Pure Barossa mocha, blackberry and fruitcake, blended with a generous serve of toasty oak; thick and unctuous on entry, the quite gravelly tannin refocuses the wine, to conclude with more toast and ample levels of sweet fruit. Date tasted 2 Feb 2009, drink by 2015
Wine Spectator - 94 pts - Ripe, fleshy and generous, but not nearly over the top, with gorgeous cherry, pomegranate, black olive and bay leaf flavors arching beautifully and swirling through the long, supple finish. Best from 2010 through 2017. 6,500 cases made. -HS, Jul 2009
