Spirits Reviews
Greenbar Grand Poppy Amaro
Brilliant, copper/orange color. The nose leaps from the glass with fresh scents of wild flowers, herbs, bitter fruit, and citrus zest with hints of earth and pepper. The palate is in full agreement with the nose delivering a semisweet herbal blast with generous flavors of grapefruit, dried flowers, and forest floor. Medium-bodied with great complexity, length, and balance. $27.99 – 4 Stars
Greenbar Fruitlab Jasmine Liqueur
Brilliant, ruby with hints of burnt orange. The nose is unmistakably jasmine with supporting notes of tea, citrus, and wild flowers (both fresh and dried). The palate echoes the nose delivering a sweet black tea-forward core with flanking notes of flowers, herbs, and candied lemon zest. Medium-bodied and sweet with subtle and delicate flavors that linger for minutes. $32.99 – 4 Stars
Wine Reviews
Tablas Creek Vermentino Adelaida District 2020
Brilliant, light green/gold color. The aromatics are very intense offering scents of green melon and citrus zest with supporting notes of grapefruit, kumquat, honeysuckle, and lemon grass. The palate confirms the nose delivering a citrus-driven core with flavors of lemon curd, kiwi, quince, and mineral. The finish is long and lingering with citrus accents. Medium-bodied and perfectly balanced with a vibrant texture. Made with 100% Vermentino. A perennial favorite here at BevX. $27 – 5 Stars/97 points
Tablas Creek Patelin de Tablas Rosé Paso Robles 2020
Brilliant, light peach color. The nose is subtle when cold blooming as it warms — offering scents of orange peel and pomegranate with supporting notes of kumquat, mineral, and apricot stone. The palate echoes the nose delivering a red fruit-driven core with flavors of grapefruit, nectarine, and quince. The finish is crisp with bright citrus notes. Medium-bodied and perfectly balanced with a vibrant texture. $25 – 4 Stars/92 points
