No Girls Tempranillo Walla Walla Valley 2018

93+ points Stephen Tanzer (Vinous): “Bright, dark red-ruby. Raspberry complicated by peppery spices and tree bark on the nose. Juicy, silky and alive on entry, then intensely flavored and fine-grained in the middle palate, offering classically dry flavors of raspberry, minerals, spices and soil. No easy sweetness here! With a serious tannic spine calling for aging, this juicy wine needs time to unfold and put on weight. In comparison, the 2017 bottling was a bit more open-knit last year, but this long, juicy wine shows more vinosity than the 2018 Cayuse Impulsivo Tempranillo. Drink: 2023-2032. (Dec 2020)”

93 points James Suckling: “Stewed plums, spices, roasted meat and grilled herbs on the nose. It’s full-bodied with chewy tannins. Fleshy texture on the palate with chalky and spicy character. Flavorful, smoky and earthy finish. Drink or hold. (7/12/21)”
