Two Hands Sexy Beast Cabernet Sauvignon 2023
One might think Cabernet Sauvignon is a classical, structured and well mannered wine, but in Two Hands's wonderful McLaren Vale Mediterranean climate they make it rich, brooding and powerful, underpinned by boundless energy. They call it their Sexy Beast, inspired by the cult classic movie starring Sir Ben Kingsley.

A cherry-chocolate, black olive and peppery spice-and-herb nose opens, with earthy, savory undertones. It's mid-weight with a lovely lift of tangy acidity and well-placed chalky tannins, blackcurrant flavor lingering on the finish. — Christina Pickard

This generous version showcases a crunchy, juicy thread. Dried sage, laurel bay leaf and mint complement the core of dark, dense wild blackberry, plum and huckleberry flavors, with a note of espresso, plus a hint of dried violet on the firm finish. Drink now through 2037.

The 2023 Sexy Beast Cabernet Sauvignon is leafy and green on the nose, with cassis, tobacco, caper brine and tapenade. The palate is shaped by firm tannins that are a little sticky through the middle palate and finish, although they provide absolutely the right shape and feel. Classic McLaren Vale purple fruits and exotic spice mark its origins. 13.8% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.
