Thorn Clarke Shotfire Quartage 750mL

Opulent aromas of blackberries, forest fruits and a hint of lavender highlight another fantastic release from Two Hands. This wine is beautifully balanced with plums, blackberries and subtle spice coating the palate, supported by hints of cedary oak and pronounced tannins on the finish.'Thom-Clarke's extensive vineyard holdings in the Barossa wine zone contribute grapes to this big-value blend of cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc, malbec and merlot. It's a harmonious blend of these bordeaux varieties, with none in particular dominating, although it's clearly a cabernet driven blend: the varietal character shows in the aroma and structure, but the fleshy mid-palate tells of malbec and merlot, and presumably it's the cabernet franc lifting the lovely perfume of the aroma. It has quite a track record now and the very good vintage tastes particularly rich and satisfying.'- Sunday Canberra Times, 09 Sep 2012, by Chris Shanahan.
