Bionic Frog Syrah 2023 Cayuse

Professional reviews

Owen Bargreen (100)

The mesmerizing 2023 Cayuse Vineyards ‘Bionic Frog’ is a perfect wine made from this really good vintage. Stored in a small amount of new French oak barrels for 18 months, this is powerful and concentrated on the mouth, with terrific viscosity and stony character. Crushed wet gravel and fresh sage combine with shades of seaweed, bulls blood, Parma ham and oyster sauce on the palate. The glorious minerality and mouth-watering acidity is the perfect compliment to the dense core of dark fruits. Showing tremendous depth and flavor density, as well as flavor range, this is benchmark North American Syrah. Enjoy now and over the next decade. . . but why wait?
