Edith Grenache Rosé 2018

Shay A
9.2

My last of a 3-pack. The fruit is from the Armada Vineyard in a special two row section that is used solely for rosé.

Compared to the 2017 I had in 2020, I found this to be more mellow (not sure if it is due to vintage or the fact that this has almost four years of age compared to when I had the 2017 it had three years of age). Much more pale pink and extremely Provençal. Watermelon rind, cantaloupe and a very mineral driven aromatic profile. Not as tangy/iron driven as the 2017 I had, but the acidity seems brighter. Rose petals, black cherry skin and dragonfruit on the palate with more stony/mineral notes. No way anyone takes this to WA state (let alone Cayuse). Incredibly French. I’d consume in the next year or two, but certainly has the bones to hold on for a bit

Bionic Frog Walla Walla Valley Syrah 2007

Notably more extracted and aggressive than the Armada Cayuse of the same vintage. But impressive in its purity, fruit more on the red-purple spectrum, with a grapey element that works. Impressive. — 7 years ago

No Girls Wines

La Paciencia Vineyard Grenache 2010

NO GIRLS Grenache, La Paciencia Vineyard 2010 (Christophe Baron autographed edition). 14.4% alcohol. No Girls Wines is a collaboration between Cayuse Vineyards' owner and vigneron Christophe Baron and general manager Trevor Dorland. This is a 100% Grenache from the La Paciencia (patience) vineyard. I think it’s right next door to Armada Vineyard which is the source for Cayuse “God Only Knows” Grenache. And like Cayuse, it’s all about those rocks with aromas of wet stone, mushroom, black olives, smoked meats and a hint of lavender. On the palate, berries, cherries, olive tapenade and fresh herbs. There’s an attractive salinity present that I find appealing. Silky texture with a nice, lingering finish of black olives. I find these No Girls wines to be far more approachable than the same vintage Cayuse varietals. And I would say they’re a bit more elegant, as in less in your face than Cayuse. I’m a fan. — 7 years ago

@TheSkip I need to ask @Bill Bender to start sending me photos to use with my reviews. Perhaps Kate Upton caressing a No Girls bottle?

Don’t ever say rocks around Christophe they are not just rocks they are “the stones” I’ll never forget the day I was corrected.

Armada Vineyard 2014

Nez très Syrah, olives, violettes, poivre, un peu fumé, bouche puissante mais avec une texture riche et soyeuse mais sans excès, excellent. 93-94

Very typical Syrah, pepper, violets, olives, a touch of smoke, powerful but with no excess, rich and savory, nice length, gorgeous.
