Celebrating Empowered Women
No Girls celebrates the belief that empowered women create empowered wine—and champions this profession's many talented and independent women and beyond.
The wines are crafted by Karen Gasparotti, Resident Vigneronne and for Bionic Wines. The wines have earned routinely high accolades, with Wine Spectator calling them "some of the best Washington wines ever rated" by the magazine.
The grapes come from the La Paciencia vineyard, which means patience in Spanish—appropriate since the project was ten years in the making. The tightly spaced vines, planted on an angle in the Stones of the Walla Walla Valley, give No Girls a personality all its own, and the wines are focused and pure. Food-friendly creations reflect finesse, elegance, charm, and character.
Historically, women were excluded from the critical stages of wine production, hampered by the prevailing societal belief that it was strictly "a man's work." No Girls offers a new narrative driven by women's strength and resilience. The wines are as modern, opinionated, and powerful as the name suggests.
Accolades
Here are our most recent professional reviews. Scores within parentheses indicate barrel samples:
2021 No Girls La Paciencia Vineyard Grenache
98 Points, Editors’ Choice
This fantastic Grenache could reunite America if served everywhere with beef stew and crusty bread. Garrigue-like aromas of rosemary and thyme unite with the salinity of a Mediterranean Sea breeze and a dollop of black cherries. Boysenberry, barbecued pork and white-button mushroom flavors join with a clean mouthfeel and crisp acidity. —Michael Alberty, Wine Enthusiast
2021 No Girls La Paciencia Vineyard Syrah
97 Points
Smoky red and black fruits, spring flowers, rose, ground pepper, and some gamey, meaty nuances all soar from the 2021 Syrah La Paciencia Vineyard, a beautiful example of Walla Walla Syrah that's medium to full-bodied, has a supple, seamless mouthfeel, beautiful tannins, and a great finish. It's a singular expression of the variety that I wish every reader could taste. I love it today, yet I have no doubt it will evolve gracefully for 10-15 years. —Jeb Dunnuck, jebdunnuck.com
2021 No Girls Tempranillo
96 Points
The gorgeous 2021 Tempranillo ... boasts a brooding deep blue-purple core with a lighter purple rim. Dark fruits abound with notes of bramble, blackberries, smoked earth, dried purple flowers, and just a hint of green peppercorn. Rich and decadent, the ripe tannins and lovely acidity carry the finish through ... Highly recommended. —Jeremy Young, International Wine Report
2021 No Girls Double Lucky #8
94 Points
This is an aromatically expressive offering, with notes of potpourri, strawberry, earth, tangerine peel, and iodine. The palate is silky soft, almost elegant in its styling, though that belies sneaky richness and intensity. A persistent, 30-plus second finish caps it off. It’s straight-up gorgeous, an exquisite entry-way into this estate’s offerings. —Sean Sullivan, Northwest Wine Report
