Medium-bodied and perfectly balanced with a vibrant texture. $11.99 – 4 Stars/90 points
Riva Leone Barbaresco DOCG 2017
Brilliant, medium garnet color. The aromatics are intense, offering scents of red cherry, clay, and dried herbs with supporting notes of earth, baking spices, mineral, and rose petals with hints of clove. The palate confirms the nose delivering a red fruit-driven core with flavors of red berries, five spice, anise, cranberry, and rosemary. The finish is long and lingering with chewy tannins. Medium to full-bodied and perfectly balanced with a vibrant but rich texture. Drink now — decant and enjoy. $24.99 – 4 Stars/92 points

Spirits Reviews
LS Cream Liqueur
Opaque, viscous, sand dollar cream color. The aromatics are wonderfully seductive with scents of cinnamon and nutmeg being redolent of a freshly baked snickerdoodle cookies with hints of rich cream and toasted coconut. The palate echoes the nose delivering a silky creamy core with subtle spice accents that build on the nose with a touch of cinnamon heat married with vanilla bean. Medium-bodied with a lush, velvety center with intriguing spice notes and an ideal balance. $27 – 4.5 Stars
