Real Wine, No Tricks
No Girls is an intriguing collaboration between acclaimed Cayuse vigneron Christophe Baron,
longtime friend and Cayuse general manager, Trevor Dorland, and other key Cayuse team members.
The story is short and sweet. Basically, the wine spoke to them, and they listened.
The grapes come from the Cayuse La Paciencia vineyard, which means patience—appropriate
since the project was ten years in the making. The vines are tightly spaced and planted
on an angle, giving No Girls a personality all its own.
“Giving
No Girls
a personality all it's own”
These are serious wines, not Cayuse seconds. They're focused and pure—food friendly creations
that eloquently express the rocky terroir from which they spring.
Real Wine. No Tricks.
Accolades
Here’s what David Schildknecht of The Wine Advocate had to say about our 2009 vintage:
2009 No Girls Grenache
"It’s as though one has crunched down to the strawberry seeds and taken a sharper
hit of mint and cinnamon as well as white pepper and toasted nuts, causing the wine
to deliver a delightful, energetic ping as part of a long, infectiously juicy finish." 92 points.
2009 No Girls Syrah
"Scents of red meat, basil, hibiscus, cherry, and blueberry along with a whiff of wood smoke
establish the themes for a satisfyingly juicy and expansive but in no way heavy palate presence.
A bite of black pepper, invigorating crunch of berry seeds, and saliva-inducing salinity add to
the fruity exuberance and savory meatiness of a memorably long, luscious finish." 93 points.
Steven Tanzer of the International Wine Cellar also wrote:
2009 No Girls Grenache
"...Wonderfully sweet and seamless but distinctly wild, with a hint of black olive adding
interest to the dark raspberry, mocha, game and mineral flavors. Finishes with very suave
tannins and a distinctly salty quality." 91 points.
2009 No Girls Syrah
"Good red color grew deeper with air. Rather saline, rocky aromas of blueberry, smoked meat
and black olive, plus a whiff of molasses. Supple, musky and intense, with very good peppery,
spicy lift to the dark berry flavors..." 92(+?) points.
