No Girls Syrah 2011 is a medium-bodied, single-vineyard Syrah red wine produced by Cayuse Vineyards in the Walla Walla sub-region of Oregon, USA. No Girls celebrates the belief that empowered women create empowered wine – and champions the many talented and independent women of the wine profession and beyond. This is an elegant expression of Syrah from the Pacienca Vineyard in Walla Walla that is aged in neutral oak. "The first impression is of steak tartare, with blood and a saline, savoury character. There’s a floral, violet topnote, and streaks of black olive, orange peel, umami and brine. Tight, toned and muscular, it’s set in a compact, perfectly proportioned frame that requires many hours of breathing to open fully." Wine Enthusiast, 2015

Vinous
(13.5% alcohol): Bright, full red. Very tight nose hints at dark raspberry, black olive and baking spices, along with a gamey nuance. Chewy and ripe but extremely backward today, in a distinctly masculine style; a bit less pliant than the Cayuse 2011 Armada Syrah, which is itself somewhat youthfully unforthcoming. Tannins are extremely fine-grained but this Syrah will need a minimum of five more years in the cellar, by which time it will likely merit a higher rating. Finishes with sexy notes of brown sugar and olive tapenade. Stephen Tanzer1st December 2014
