We had another busy week at BevX with new, tasty beverage reviews to share. This week we have three new wine reviews and one new spirits review. Enjoy!
The BevX reviews are like no other. We evaluate wines, beers, and spirits breaking down elements of appearance, aroma, flavor, texture and intensity as well the product’s “cool factor” and value. We also offer analysis on the creation of the beverage as well as any interesting points that make it unique. Finally we offer suggestion on how to enjoy the beverage including pairing and cocktail suggestions.
As always you see all of our reviews here:

Wine
Tablas Creek Grenache Blanc Adelaida District 2016
Brilliant, light straw color. The nose is moderately intense offering scents of green apple, spring flowers, and wet stones with supporting notes of citrus zest, pineapple, and lychee. The palate confirms the nose delivering a tropical fruit-driven core with flavors of tropical fruits and bright mineral notes. The finish is long with trailing ripe fruit and orange zest. Medium-bodied and perfectly balanced with a vibrant texture.

Spirits
Rivulet Artisan Pecan Liqueur
Brilliant, crystal clear. The nose is wonderfully complex with notes of toasted pecans virtually leaping from the glass with supporting notes of rich caramel with hints of dark caramel, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, butterscotch and candied orange peel. The palate echoes the nose delivering a silky, lush toffee and praline core with accents of brown baking spices, cappuccino, maple syrup, treacle, and brown sugar. This is certainly a full-bodied and complex liqueur but its edge is that it is remarkably balanced with vibrant acidity that leads you to desire sip after sip.
