Unmistakably Cayuse, yet light on its feet and very Burgundian. So much funk. Delicious.

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.

Really enjoyed the previous two bottles, which were consumed on their own. This was probably just as good, but not a great fit with the other bottles on the afternoon. Classic Cayuse funk, rich and delicious, just out of place with the others and probably suffered for it.
