2009 Two Hands Cabernet Sauvignon Aphrodite Barossa

酒色深濃，先是黑色果實的香氣：黑醋栗、桑葚與微微乾李的甜美，接著出現些許香料與花香（胡椒、五香與薰衣草的細緻氣息）。入口飽滿有力，但不失優雅，單寧細緻而有支撐感，酸度平衡，餘韻綿長且層次豐富。這款由 Two Hands 製作、Ben Perkins 掌釀的酒，來自巴羅莎溫暖且管理嚴謹的葡萄園（田間注重產量控制與葉面管理），酒廠以小批次釀造與橡木桶熟成讓果香與香料更和諧。適合靜待片刻醒酒，或在餐桌上搭配烤紅肉、野味與成熟乳酪一起享用。

Deep garnet in the glass, this vintage opens with aromas of crème de cassis, mulberry and dried plum, edged by blackberry tart, allspice, pepper and a hint of lavender. On the palate it is full and powerful yet refined: concentrated dark fruit rides on a backbone of fine, medium-to-firm tannins and well-balanced acidity, culminating in a very long, seductive finish. Crafted by Two Hands Wines under winemaker Ben Perkins, the wine reflects careful small-batch attention during fermentation and thoughtful oak maturation to integrate spice and structure. Sourced from warm, low-yield Barossa sites managed by Travis Coombe, the result is a concentrated, age-worthy red built for the table and slow evolution in bottle.
