Beverage of the Week
Tablas Creek Esprit de Tablas Adelaida District 2017
This dense and charming Châteauneuf du Pape tribute created in Paso Robles has been a favorite at BevX for years. This Mourvedre forward, four grape blend perfectly marries Old World winemaking with beautiful Paso Robles fruit to create a wine that is lovely today but will gee gracefully for many years… See the Beverage of the Week feature

Wine Reviews
Troon Vineyard Cowhorn Vineyard Grenache Applegate Valley 2018
See the Full BevX Featured Review Brilliant, medium ruby color. The nose is moderately intense offering scents of red plum and pomegranate with supporting notes of slate and dried herbs. The palate confirms the nose delivering a red fruit-driven core with flavors of wild raspberry, tart red fruits, and earth. The finish is long and lingering with ripe but tart tannins. Medium-bodied and perfectly balanced with a vibrant texture. $35 4.5 Stars/95 points
Silver Ghost Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2017
Brilliant, deep ruby color. The aromatics are very intense offering scents of blackberry, black plum, and cassis with supporting notes of vanilla and violet. The palate confirms the nose delivering a black fruit-driven core with flavors of black cherry, sweet fresh herbs, oak, and mineral. The finish is long and lingering with firm tannins. Full-bodied and nicely balanced with a rich and silky texture. $35 4 Stars/91 points
Spirits Reviews
Old Pulteney Huddart Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Brilliant golden color. The nose is filled with scents of sweet malt, honeycomb, and baked apple with accents of smoke, leather, and vanilla bean. The palate echoes the nose delivering a rich fruit and malt driven core with even more smoke than found on the nose with waves of peat and brown baking spices leading to a hardwood ember-like tannin on the finish. Full-bodied with generous notes of sea salt, smoke, and malt that showcases the peat element as being nearly herbal. $65 – 4 Stars
Old Pulteney 18 Years Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Brilliant golden/amber color. The nose reveals a very decadent Whisky offering rich scents of dark chocolate, baked apples, and generous waves of brown baking spices with accents of honey and hints of lemon curd. The palate is in full agreement with the nose delivering a dense and powerful chocolate and malt-driven core with waves of fruit cake, allspice, black pepper, and hints of briny Sichuan pepper. Full-bodied with loads of barrel-driven spice notes and an oaky finish. $139 – 4 Stars
