Owen Roe winemaker Jacki Evans began this award-winning side hustle nearly a decade ago, naming the brand she launched with three friends for the Spanish phrase that translates to “without flags.” She’s the Texan in the project that began as “cultivated by a Mexican, cellared by a Frenchman and distributed by a Washingtonian.” Here’s their first Platinum from us, and the Southern Rhônish-blend of Outlook Syrah and Olsen Brothers Mourvèdre is spicy and bright yet plush as black pepper, cherries and lingonberry jam lead into a finish of vanilla and blackberry. It’s not surprising the 2020 vintage of this (no G)SM already has qualified for the 25th annual Platinum Awards. Qualifying award: Sip Magazine Best of the Northwest (gold)
