WINE DESCRIPTION

Cayuse Vineyards Bionic Frog is a highly sought-after wine produced by Cayuse Vineyards, a winery located in the Walla Walla Valley appellation of Washington State. The vineyard features rocky, well-drained soils that contribute to the wine's unique character. The winemaking process involves minimal intervention, with the grapes being fermented using native yeasts and aged in French oak barrels. The resulting wine is a bold and complex expression of Syrah, with notes of dark fruit, smoked meat, and earthy undertones. Its rich and full-bodied style makes it a perfect pairing for hearty meat dishes or a decadent cheese plate.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This is a complex and intriguing Syrah from Cayuse Vineyards.The deep, dark color of this wine immediately captivates the eye. On the nose, aromas of blackberry and cassis mingle with notes of graphite, black tea, and smoked tobacco. On the palate, the bold tannins are balanced by a bright acidity and flavors of dark cherry and dried herbs. The finish is lengthy and structured, with hints of vanilla and spice. This is a powerful and intense wine that will benefit from cellaring. Enjoy with a seared steak or aged cheese.
