No Girls Wines
La Paciencia Vineyard Syrah
Walla Walla Valley, Oregon/Washington, USA
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.

From the very cool 2011 vintage, this wine shows blue fruits, minerality and and a long finish. Lacks the body and structure of other No Girls and Cayuse wines from better vintages.

This is the scotch drinker's syrah. Amazing nose. Bold fruits. Smoked meats. Peaty finish.
