Wine Reviews
Troon Vineyard Cuvée Pyrénées Applegate Valley 2016
See the Full BevX Featured Review
Brilliant, deep ruby color. The aromatics are very intense offering scents of raspberry, hibiscus flower, and blueberry balsamic with supporting notes of red currant and baking spices. The palate echoes the nose delivering a red fruit-driven core with flavors of tart cherry and black plum. The finish is long and lingering with supple tannins and trailing herbal and spice accents. Medium to full-bodied and perfectly balanced thanks to bright acidity with a voluptuous texture. $60 5 Stars/98 points
Troon Vineyard Tannat Applegate Valley 2016

Brilliant, deep crimson color. The aromatics are very intense offering scents of black fruits and forest floor with supporting notes of mineral, black tea, and truffle. The palate confirms the nose delivering a black fruit-driven core with flavors of blackberry and sour cherry. The finish is long and lingering with chewy tannins. Full-bodied and nicely balanced with a supple texture with dry fruit and spice accents. $40 4 Stars/91 points
Spirits Reviews
Tanteo Jalapeño Infused Tequila
Brilliant, very pale straw color. The nose is filled with the scents of fresh blanco Tequila and vibrant, green cut jalapeño, grass, and subtle citrus zest accents. The palate agrees with the nose regarding the verdant chili notes while the jalapeño heat rises on the mid palate with a crescendo on the finish. Medium-bodied with intense chili heat that rises on the finish and lingers for a long minute. Made with 100% Blue Agave Tequila and infused with fresh jalapeño. $39.99 – 3.5 Stars
