"Odedi"

9.1

Dark ruby/Inky in color with a wide reddish rim.

Stinky nose, as expected, and dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Full-bodied and smooth, with medium acidity and long legs.

Showing black fruits with wood, earth, vegetables, spices, barnyard, dark chocolates, tobacco leaf, tar, black tea and bitter herbs.

Medium finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a unique Syrah from Walla Walla Valley. Rich and extracted. Soft and elegant. Very much 'in your face' kind of wine.

This 7 year old is still young, and needs a few hours to open up properly. Will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.

This Single Vineyard is nicely balanced and complex with a nice mouthfeel. Not my usual style, but very tasty.

I've had a few vintages of this wine and it always delivers.

Wine Spectator 94 points. Wine Advocate 96 points.

Good by itself as a sipping wine.

A blend of Syrah with a touch of Viognier. Only 859 cases produced.

Big, rich and ripe. Nose of blueberry syrup, palate of blueberry compote. Tasty, but not my style. — 3 months ago

9.2

Walla Walla Bordeaux-Style blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (48%), Merlot (30%), Cabernet Franc (14%) and Malbec (8%). Totally opaque ruby color with purple highlights. Aromas of dark fruit, cedar, dried herbs and graphite. Abundant dark cherry/plum/currant/berry flavors with additional notes of those dried herbs, iron and wet soil. Ripe, plush, nicely structured and well layered. Smooth tannins and extremely long finish. Alcohol is noticeable out of the bottle but does calm down with aeration. — 9 months ago

9.4

Terrific example of Walla Walla Syrah with elegant, velvety tannin and good acidity giving a solid foundation to black cherry, black plum, blackberry, licorice, cedar, forest floor, and dried blackberry. Still developing but hard to resist at the moment. — 2 months ago

Tightly wound but fragrant and savory. Some plum flavors. Lots of other wild floral notes to me. Some charcoal and meat flavor. Overall good yet young. — 3 months ago

Fun bottle on the nose and palette at a great price. Notes of minerals, gravel and spring water keep things interesting. — 7 months ago

Quintessential Syrah from Columbia Valley. Spiced, stewed blueberry notes in otherwise dark dry fruit.

9.3

At the end of its life but still a powerful Syrah with plum, raisin, and dark fruit. The nose is weak now I wish had gotten to it earlier but this is a well-made Syrah. Excellent but not sure it is worth $82. — 2 months ago

Nice - not overly jammy, and with a distinct taste of orange peel. — 2 months ago

9.3

My choice for a Rhône style theme with my local group.

Definitely the oldest No Girls I’ve opened. As expected, these have a Burgundian flair to them in the way they are made when compared to Cayuse/HP/HC. Not as much depth/richness, but there is great acidity and the use of stems is clear. Faint ruby in the glass. Stemmy/green aromatics with herbs de Provence, black olive, Cayuse funk/iron on the nose. Saline, red and black berry driven on the palate with black pepper spice, truffle, beef jerky and big phenolics. Tart and acidic, I followed this over two days, and to my surprise, held up very well. Pop now. — 5 months ago
