The 2005 Grenache “Aerope” was aged in 4- to 5-year-old American oak. It offers aromas of garrigue, sage, cassis, and cherry jam. Thick and rich, it is velvety on the palate with intense, pure flavors and a long, fruit-filled finish. 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)
