Cayuse Vineyards Syrah Bionic Frog Walla Walla Valley 2018

Reviews

100 -Falstaff -

Deep dark ruby, purple reflections, brightening on the rim. Very seductive bouquet of candied violets, fresh raspberries, juicy plums, cassis, some smoked bacon and old wood nuances. Deep on the palate, sweet black berries, juicy, very fine, round tannins, spicy, herbs de Provence and tapanade in the finish, lingers for minutes, salty minerality in the aftertaste.

Beginning with a brilliant and seductively aromatic nose, the 2018 Syrah Bionic Frog rockets out of the glass with a stunning array of juicy fruit tones, baked earth and a dusty, floral sensation with intoxicating elements of smoked beef and black pepper. Medium to full-bodied, the Syrah summersaults across the palate with excitement and finesse, offering up spicy flavors of black raspberry compote, spiced chutney, hints of olive tapenade and a lively mineral tension. It offers pristine tannins and a succulent mouthfeel that lavishly lays on the mid-palate. Concluding with a long, winding and ever-evolving finish, the 2018 is flirting with triple digits. The wine rested for 19 months in a mix of French demi-muids and foudre, 20% new. Outstanding! Only 6,396 bottles were made.

The 2018 Bionic Frog is a wild, deeply expressive Syrah, bursting with notes of blackberry, smoked herbs, and graphite. Its velvety texture and fine tannins create a seamless, lingering finish. A compelling and age-worthy vintage, this wine exemplifies the energy and depth of Cayuse Syrah.

About The Producer

Cayuse Vineyards was founded in 1997 by French vigneron Christophe Baron, who recognized the untapped potential of the rocky, cobblestone soils in Walla Walla’s “Stone Cairn” region of Oregon and Washington. Planting vines where few thought they could thrive, Baron pioneered a distinctive style of biodynamically farmed, Rhône-inspired wines that are now among the most coveted in the U.S. The estate is renowned for its limited-production Syrah, Grenache, and Cabernet Sauvignon, each marked by a unique sense of place and the signature “minerality” of Cayuse’s stony terroir. Today, Cayuse stands as one of the Pacific Northwest’s most iconic and collectible producers.
