Appearing 13 times on the Wine Spectator’s Top 100 for the past 20 years, Australia’s Two Hands Wines boasts an incredible record of consistent critical acclaim, the lush 92 pt. 2020 Two Hands Sexy Beast Cabernet Sauvignon landing the #59 spot on this year’s list, its core of lush, dark fruit hinting of cedar and spice with plentiful integrated tannins at an outstanding value price.

Originally established in 1999 to showcase the diversity of Australian Shiraz, Two Hands procures exceptional quality grapes from the country’s top regions, reflecting “the best that can be sourced from all over South Australia” according to the Wine Advocate’s Jay Miller. Created to expand its reach beyond Shiraz, the grapes for the uniquely titled and labeled Two Hands Picture Series undergo the same rigorous selection as those for the higher tiers of the Two Hands portfolio, the Cabernet Sauvignon for Sexy Beast sourced from a top grower in McLaren Vale. Located in South Australia 45 minutes south of Adelaide, the McLaren Vale region enjoys a warm Mediterranean climate optimal for ripening Cabernet, with cooling breezes from the slopes of nearby Mount Lofty and the St. Vincent Gulf preserving the grapes’ natural acidity. Under the direction of founder Michael Twelftree, “Barossa Winemaker of the Year” Richard Langford aged the 2020 Two Hands Sexy Beast for 14 months, 12% in new French oak with the remainder in 1-5 yr. old casks, revealing luscious fresh fruit balanced by mineral-tinged acidity on a silky, harmonious finish, with plenty of structure for aging.

Sourced from McLaren Vale Cabernet Sauvignon that’s “favored for its easy-drinking opulence” according to Australian expert James Halliday, the seductively appealing 92 pt. Two Hands Sexy Beast Cabernet Sauvignon boasts generous, palate-coating fruit with a smooth, savory finish sure to please fans of Aussie Cab, a top 100 wine that’s a top value too.
