(Cayuse Vineyards Bionic Frog Syrah Walla Walla Valley) Less overtly funky than some of the other 2009 vintage releases, the Bionic Frog is full of peat, mineral, dark plum, spice, and light floral notes. The palate is perfumed with savory flavors and a seamless feel with incredible length. 100% Syrah. 437 cases produced.

Tasted blind. Wow! I am amazed at how much this wine tastes like a great Allemand Cornas! To think this comes from Washington State. Kaboom!

Reminds me why BF is the crown of the cayuse jewels. Very elegant with lots of savory flavors. Everything seems well integrated now. Rich dark fruit. Reminds me of the La Las a bit (I can’t remember what distinguishes them enough to say which this is more like). But a lovely wine that went really well with grilled steak.

Decanted for 4-hours. The pour was auspicious, inky dark letting no light through the glass. The brooding color was no match for the palate which was soft, and fruit forward until the alcohol-dominate finish. Juicy, dark plum dominated. Some spice and bramble in the mid palate. The finish smoothed over time as the alcohol dissipated. Very nice at that point in particular. Day 2 was unremarkable and flat fruit juice as the alcohol, and its related structure vanished. It’s time to drink up.

Pitch black. Fully integrated tannins. Full throttle alcohol. Excellent with a 2+ hour decant
