2016 Cayuse Syrah Bionic Frog
Community Tasting Note
Roentgen Ray Likes this wine:
95 Points
Tuesday, May 14, 2019 - Super dark and highly extracted.
Very rich with dark black fruit, a little Szechuan pepper, big ripe velvety tannins. Finish lasts a couple of minutes and shows a bit of greeness, reminiscent of a funky eucalyptus.

I only have three bottles of this wine. With that in mind is it time to crack open one of the bottles and from the aspects I pick up at that time determine when I will open the others?

Thanks Dave

Was there a 2017 vintage? Dave

It may have been 2017.
There was a handling problem and Cayuse decided to not release any bottles under their label.
They credited all investors for their purchases.
