Vinous
Reviewed March 2022A blend of Grenache, Syrah and Tempranillo, mostly sourced from younger vines, the 2018 Double Lucky #8 shows a gorgeous bouquet of freshly tilled loamy soils, green olive tapenade, black tea and wild blackberry compote aromas that all meld in the glass. The palate is already beautifully evolved, showing tar, leather, black currant jelly, orange rind and umami tones that come together nicely. The salinity, weight and length of the wine add to the complexity. (OB)

Wine Spectator
This is dynamic and boldly structured yet retains finesse, with bright raspberry, espresso, smoked meat and black pepper flavors that build richness toward refined tannins. (TF)

James Suckling
Lots of herbal complexity on the nose, along with notes of baked cherry and crushed blackberry. Medium-to full-bodied with nice purity and definition. Silky tannins. Spicy complexity with notes of toasted coriander, clove and black pepper. From biodynamically grown grapes.

Wine Enthusiast
This is the inaugural vintage of this wine, designed as entry-level look into the Bionic Wines family. The aromas pull you into the glass, with notes of firepit, olive and peat—a classic profile of the Rocks District. A plush feeling, layered palate follows, with orange peel accents. A very long finish ups the interest. *Editor's Choice* (SS)
Notes
Jeb Dunnuck writes: "While I used to find a small difference in quality between the Cayuse and No Girls releases, this has long been erased as winemaker Elizabeth Boucier continues to gain confidence and experience with the La Paciencia vineyard. As I've said in the past, the style is slightly more finesse driven than the Cayuse cuvees, and these wines have beautifully pure, even pretty fruit profiles, with lots of floral nuance, yet still show the classic underlying "Stones" terroir."
