Lot 381 Details
CAYUSE VINEYARDS BIONIC FROG SYRAH 2013
Walla Walla. Columbia Valley.

The only wine to see partial aging in foudre (20% new), the 2013 Syrah Bionic Frog has an almost Burgundian flair in its forest floor, olive brine, smoked earth, dried flower and darker fruit-styled personality. One of the more streamlined, elegant examples of this cuvee, it still has a serious, lengthy feel, full-bodied richness and building underlying structure that makes me think 3-5 years of cellaring are warranted. I don’t think it hits the heights of the best vintages, but it’s still a fabulous wine. Jeb Dunnuck Tasted April 2016 Drink: 2019-2029. 97 WA
