Hailing from the renowned Walla Walla Valley, the 2008 Cayuse Vineyards Syrah Bionic Frog is a wine that’s earned every bit of its perfect 100-point score. This Syrah boasts an intoxicating nose of blackberry, plum, and a hint of crushed violets, leading to a palate that is rich, balanced, and reflects the unique terroir of its origin. It unfolds in layers of ripe, dark fruit and subtle spice, culminating in a long, elegant finish. This is a wine that shines when paired with hearty dishes like a slow-roasted lamb shank or a prime cut of beef. While it packs the complexity and depth of wines double its cost, its retail price of $520 makes it a truly great value find for the discerning connoisseur.
