Spirits Reviews
George Dickel Bottled in Bond 13 Years Old 2007 Tennessee Whisky
Brilliant, deep bronze/amber color. The nose is very seductive and generous offering scents of red currants and red cherries with supporting accents of oak, clove, allspice, almond butter, and caramel. The palate echoes the nose delivering fruit-forward flavors of red berries with loads of brown baking spices, nut brittle, oak, and ginger. Full-bodied with great balance and a bright note of acidity with defining spice accents. Distilled in the spring of 2007. $44.99 – 5 Stars

2Hawk Grenache Rogue Valley 2018
Brilliant, deep scarlet color. The aromatics are very intense offering scents of raspberry and lavender with supporting notes of black tea, forest floor, and strawberry. The palate echoes the nose delivering a red and black fruits-driven core with flavors of red plum, blackberry, and graphite. The finish is long and lingering with supple tannins. Medium to full-bodied and perfectly balanced with a silky texture. $32 – 4.5 Stars/95 points
2Hawk Tempranillo Rogue Valley 2017
Brilliant, deep ruby color. The aromatics are very intense offering scents of black cherry, black currant, and slate with supporting notes of cigar box, forest floor, and smoked meat. The palate echoes the nose delivering a black fruit-driven core with flavors of black plum, boysenberry, black tea, oak, and vanilla. The finish is long and lingering with silky tannins. Medium to full-bodied and perfectly balanced with a opulent texture. $34 – 4.5 Stars/95 points
