En Chamberlin Vineyard Syrah 2009

Smelled like raspberry jam in the decanter, but much more mineral-like in the glass. Fruit-forward, but not overly so like many Syrahs. — 4 days ago

En Cerise Vineyard Syrah 2010

At the end of its life but still a powerful Syrah with plum, raisin, and dark fruit. The nose is weak now I wish had gotten to it earlier but this is a well-made Syrah. Excellent but not sure it is worth $82. — 2 months ago

La Paciencia Vineyard Syrah 2011

9.3

My choice for a Rhône style theme with my local group.

Definitely the oldest No Girls I’ve opened. As expected, these have a Burgundian flair to them in the way they are made when compared to Cayuse/HP/HC. Not as much depth/richness, but there is great acidity and the use of stems is clear. Faint ruby in the glass. Stemmy/green aromatics with herbs de Provence, black olive, Cayuse funk/iron on the nose. Saline, red and black berry driven on the palate with black pepper spice, truffle, beef jerky and big phenolics. Tart and acidic, I followed this over two days, and to my surprise, held up very well. Pop now.

Doesn’t drink like a Cabernet. Lots of red fruit, brightness etc. — 19 days ago

I thought this Northern Rhone syrah was fantastic. It had some barnyard funk up front, like Cayuse, but unlike Cayuse the red fruit was brighter and the tannins were finer. Great value for $65, would drink again. — 6 days ago

PnP. Dark red/maroon color. Cigarettes, BBQ, and incense on the nose. Similar on the palate. Fairly big wine. Not my style, but I’m sure others may love this. — 4 months ago

Flying Pig Cabernet Franc Blend

What a beauty. Has that signature Cayuse funk on the nose. I would be happy just to smell this wine. Black fruit. Beautifully balanced. A serious wine with a silly label. — 8 months ago

Cailloux Vineyard Syrah 2017

Dark ruby/Inky in color with a wide reddish rim.

Stinky nose, as expected, and dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Full-bodied and smooth, with medium acidity and long legs.

Showing black fruits with wood, earth, vegetables, spices, barnyard, dark chocolates, tobacco leaf, tar, black tea and bitter herbs.

Medium finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a unique Syrah from Walla Walla Valley. Rich and extracted. Soft and elegant. Very much 'in your face' kind of wine.

This 7 year old is still young, and needs a few hours to open up properly. Will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.

This Single Vineyard is nicely balanced and complex with a nice mouthfeel. Not my usual style, but very tasty.

I've had a few vintages of this wine and it always delivers.

Wine Spectator 94 points. Wine Advocate 96 points.

Good by itself as a sipping wine.

A blend of Syrah with a touch of Viognier. Only 859 cases produced.

13.8% alcohol by volume.

91 points.

$120.
