2023 No Girls "Double Lucky #8" Walla Walla Valley Red Blend

Drawn from younger parcels rooted in the stony soils of several Walla Walla Valley sites, the 2023 No Girls Double Lucky Red Wine, Walla Walla Valley, is far more compelling than the lower price point might suggest. Its bouquet leans savory and mineral, offering black olive tapenade, dried blackberry, cured meat, crushed plum, and a lift of satsuma peel. Broad without heaviness, it moves with supple concentration and admirable poise, carrying plum skin, red cherry, and warm crushed stone notes across a polished, medium-plus to full-bodied frame. The finish is persistent, savory, and finely shaped, making this an especially appealing wine to drink now while leaving room for graceful development over the next eight to ten years.
