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. "Fantastic decadence and richness to this, but not overdone, offering intense dried fruit, tar, roasted walnuts and smoked almonds. It’s full-bodied, but remains fresh. The aromas follow through to a flavourful. round and juicy palate." James Suckling
