2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Aphrodite

Two Hands's best Cabernet went into the 2017 Aphrodite Cabernet Sauvignon. Sourced from McLaren Vale (like all of the Two Hands Cabs this time around), it's a dark, vibrant purple in the glass, boasts loads of cassis fruit and just hints of mint, bay leaf and sage and finishes with gorgeous, silky tannins that linger for what seems like minutes. It's medium to full-bodied, fine-grained and elegant in feel and—it's worth repeating—long on the finish. Approachable now, it should reach full stride in another couple of years, then age for up to two decades.
