Cayuse Bionic Frog 2020 is a full-bodied, single-vineyard Syrah red wine from Washington State, USA. Produced since 2000 and boasting a steady stream of 100-point scores since inception, Cayuse Bionic Frog has become one of the US West Coast`s most sought-after reds. Made from biodynamically farmed Syrah fruit from the Coccinelle Vineyard in the Walla Walla Valley, Washington State, this limited-production wine is renowned for its silky texture, depth and meaty, black-fruited complexity. "Dark-fruited, bold and juicy aromas waft from the glass of the 2020 Syrah Bionic Frog with hints of black raspberries, soy, olive and crème de violette. The nose is fresh, floral and packed with notions of roasted herbs and succulent spiced cherries. Medium to full-bodied, the wine is balanced on the palate with savoury flavours, an umami essence and a lingering, firm tannic edge that will remain food friendly for over a decade. The wine rested for a year and a half in about 20% new French oak barrels. 6,336 bottles produced." Wine Advocate, 2023
